drm_gem_cma_create() prints an error message when dma_alloc_wc() fails to
allocate the amount of memory we requested. This can lead to annoying
error messages when CMA is only one possible source of memory for the BO
allocation. Turn this error message into a debug one.

cma_alloc() unconditionally prints an INFO message when the CMA
allocation fails. Make this message conditional on the non-presence of
__GFP_NOWARN in gfp_mask.

Hello,
This patch aims at removing INFO messages that are displayed when the
VC4 driver tries to allocate buffer objects. From the driver perspective
an allocation failure is acceptable, and the driver can possibly do
something to make following allocation succeed (like flushing the VC4
internal cache).
Also, I don't understand why this message is only an INFO message, and
not a WARN (pr_warn()). Please let me know if you have good reasons to
keep it as an unconditional pr_info().
Thanks,
Boris
