cma: make default CMA area size zero for x86
This makes CMA memory area size zero for x86 in default configuration
(doesn't change on the other architectures). If default CMA size is
zero, DMA_CMA is disabled. It can be enabled by passing cma= to the
kernel.
This makes less impact on x86. Because there is no mainline driver that
requires it for x86, and Peter Hurley reported the performance
regression, as this is trying to drive _all_ dma mapping allocations
through a _very_ small window.
