This function could help developer who want to find a special
named CMA area.

The CMA supports multiple named CMA areas, and the device could
use or exclusive a special CAM arae via "cma_area" on "struct
device". When probing, the device can setup special CMA area which
find by "cma_find_by_name()".

If device can't find named CMA area, "cma_find_by_name()" will
return NULL, and device will used default CMA area.
