While activating a CMA area we check to make sure that all the PFNs in the range are inside the same zone. This is a requirement for alloc_contig_range() to work. Any CMA area failing the check is disabled for good. This happens silently right now making all future cma_alloc() allocations failure inevitable. Here we add an error message stating that the CMA area could not be activated which makes it easier to explain any future cma_alloc() failures on it. While in there, change the bail out goto label from 'err' to 'not_in_zone' which makes more sense.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
