From: Nicolin Chen <nicoleotsuka at gmail.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1839395

The dma_alloc_contiguous() limits align at CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT for
cma_alloc() however it does not restore it for the fallback routine.
This will result in a size mismatch between the allocation and free
when running into the fallback routines after cma_alloc() fails, if
the align is larger than CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT.

This patch adds a cma_align to take care of cma_alloc() and prevent
the align from being overwritten.
