Nitpick: it would be more logical to remove the whole block in this 
patch, as removing ALLOC_CMA means it's effectively false? Also less churn.

No, all freepages on ZONE_CMA is attached on area->free_list[MIGRATE_CMA].
We need to check whether there is a freepage on it or not to pass watermark
check for high-order allocation.

Thanks.
