Subject: [PATCH] swiotlb: Correct kernel command line handler

This patch corrects kernel command line handler when io_tlb_nslabs
is set to 0.

A current implementation allocates default size memory (64MB) when
0 is given to io_tlb_nslabs ("swiotlb=0") by kernel command line.
In other words, memory is allocated unintentionally.
