kdump: wait for DMA to finish when using CMA

When re-using the CMA area for kdump there is a risk of pending DMA into
pinned user pages in the CMA area.

Pages residing in CMA areas can usually not get long-term pinned and are
instead migrated away from the CMA area, so long-term pinning is typically
not a concern.  (BUGs in the kernel might still lead to long-term pinning
of such pages if everything goes wrong.)

Pages pinned without FOLL_LONGTERM remain in the CMA and may possibly be
the source or destination of a pending DMA transfer.

Although there is no clear specification how long a page may be pinned
without FOLL_LONGTERM, pinning without the flag shows an intent of the
caller to only use the memory for short-lived DMA transfers, not a
transfer initiated by a device asynchronously at a random time in the
future.

Add a delay of CMA_DMA_TIMEOUT_SEC seconds before starting the kdump
kernel, giving such short-lived DMA transfers time to finish before the
CMA memory is re-used by the kdump kernel.

Set CMA_DMA_TIMEOUT_SEC to 10 seconds - chosen arbitrarily as both a huge
margin for a DMA transfer, yet not increasing the kdump time too
significantly.
