If a user has specified that the zone should have contiguous memory,
use the new _contig allocation API's instead of normal ones.
Otherwise, account for the fact that unless we're in IOVA_AS_VA
mode, we cannot guarantee that the pages would be physically
contiguous, so we calculate the memzone size and alignments as if
we were getting the smallest page size available.
