iommu: Enhance IOMMU default DMA mode build options

First, add build options IOMMU_DEFAULT_{LAZY|STRICT}, so that we have the
opportunity to set {lazy|strict} mode as default at build time. Then put
the two config options in an choice, as they are mutually exclusive.

[jpg: Make choice between strict and lazy only (and not passthrough)]

default IOMMU_DEFAULT_STRICT
help
This option allows an IOMMU DMA IOTLB invalidation mode to be
chosen at build time, to override the default mode of each ARCH,
removing the need to pass in kernel parameters through command line.
It is still possible to provide common boot params to override this
config.
If unsure, keep the default.
config IOMMU_DEFAULT_STRICT
bool "strict"
help
For every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the flush operation of IOTLB and
the free operation of IOVA are guaranteed to be done in the unmap
function.
config IOMMU_DEFAULT_LAZY
bool "lazy"
help
Support lazy mode, where for every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the
flush operation of IOTLB and the free operation of IOVA are deferred.
They are only guaranteed to be done before the related IOVA will be
reused.
The isolation provided in this mode is not as secure as STRICT mode,
such that a vulnerable time window may be created between the DMA
unmap and the mappings cached in the IOMMU IOTLB or device TLB
finally being invalidated, where the device could still access the
memory which has already been unmapped by the device driver.
However this mode may provide better performance in high throughput
scenarios, and is still considerably more secure than passthrough
mode or no IOMMU.
