mm/cma_debug: show complete cma name in debugfs directories
Currently only 12 characters of the cma name is being used as the debug directories where as the cma name can be of length CMA_MAX_NAME(=64) characters. One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality. The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names and are represented by simple integer values. Since now each cma would be having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them in /sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.

The CMA debugfs interface is useful to retrieve basic information out of the
different CMA areas and to test allocation/release in each of the areas.
