drm/buddy: Improve contiguous memory allocation
Problem statement: The current method roundup_power_of_two() to allocate contiguous address triggers -ENOSPC in some cases even though we have enough free spaces and so to help with that we introduce a try harder mechanism. In case of -ENOSPC, the new try harder mechanism rounddown the original size to power of 2 and iterating over the round down sized freelist blocks to allocate the required size traversing RHS and LHS. As part of the above new method implementation we moved contiguous/alignment size computation part and trim function to the drm buddy file. v2: Modify the alloc_range() function to return total allocated size on -ENOSPC err and traverse RHS/LHS to allocate the required size (Matthew).
