Rename CMA helpers to DMA helpers

---------------------------------



CMA (standing for contiguous memory allocator) is really a bit an accident of

what these were used for first, a much better name would be DMA helpers. In the

text these should even be called coherent DMA memory helpers (so maybe CDM, but

no one knows what that means) since underneath they just use dma_alloc_coherent.
