mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured
The page allocator will improperly return a page from ZONE_NORMAL even
when __GFP_DMA is passed if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is disabled. The caller
expects DMA memory, perhaps for ISA devices with 16-bit address registers,
and may get higher memory resulting in undefined behavior.
This patch causes the page allocator to return NULL in such circumstances
with a warning emitted to the kernel log on the first occurrence.
