If cma_activate_area() fails after allocating only part of the range
bitmaps, the cleanup path still has to release the reserved pages when
CMA_RESERVE_PAGES_ON_ERROR is clear.

That is still worth doing even in this __init path.  A bitmap_zalloc()
failure does not necessarily mean the system cannot make further progress:
freeing the reserved CMA pages can return a substantial amount of memory
to the buddy allocator and may relieve the temporary memory shortage that
caused the allocation failure in the first place.

However, the cleanup path currently uses the bitmap-freeing bound for page
release as well.  That is only correct for ranges whose bitmap allocation
already succeeded.  The failed range and all later ranges still keep their
reserved pages, so a partial bitmap allocation failure can permanently
leak them.

Fix this by releasing reserved pages for all ranges.  Use the saved
early_pfn[] value for ranges whose bitmap allocation already succeeded and
for the failed range, and use cmr->early_pfn for later ranges whose bitmap
allocation was never attempted.
