hence the task can be removed.

-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.
