commit dfef01e150824b0e6da750cacda8958188d29aea upstream.

snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback() tries to allocate pages again when the
allocation fails with reduced size.  But the first try actually
*increases* the size to power-of-two, which may give back a larger
chunk than the requested size.  This confuses the callers, e.g. sgbuf
assumes that the size is equal or less, and it may result in a bad
loop due to the underflow and eventually lead to Oops.

The code of this function seems incorrectly assuming the usage of
get_order().  We need to decrease at first, then align to
power-of-two.

<content type='text'>
Just a tidy up to follow the standard EXPORT_SYMBOL*() declarations
in order to improve grep-ability.

- Move EXPORT_SYMBOL*() to the position right after its definition
- Remove superfluous blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL*() lines

<title>genalloc: rename of_get_named_gen_pool() to of_gen_pool_get()</title>

<content type='text'>
To be consistent with other kernel interface namings, rename
of_get_named_gen_pool() to of_gen_pool_get().  In the original function
name "_named" suffix references to a device tree property, which contains
a phandle to a device and the corresponding device driver is assumed to
register a gen_pool object.

Due to a weak relation and to avoid any confusion (e.g.  in future
possible scenario if gen_pool objects are named) the suffix is removed.

Instead of keeping a separate snd-page-alloc module, merge into the
core snd-pcm module, as we don't need to keep it as an individual
module due to the drop of page reservation.

Nowadays we have CMA for obtaining the contiguous memory pages
efficiently.  Let's kill the old kludge for reserving the memory pages
for large buffers.  It was rarely useful (only for preserving pages
among module reloading or a little help by an early boot scripting),
used only by a couple of drivers, and yet it gives too much ugliness
than its benefit.

It's almost superfluous, and doesn't help much for real uses.
Let's reduce the layer size.
