Subject: [PATCH 1/1] iommu: Add config option to set lazy mode as default

This allows the default behaviour to be controlled by a kernel config
option instead of changing the command line for the kernel to include
"iommu.strict=0" on ARM64 where this is desired.

This is similar to CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH.

Note: At present, intel_iommu, amd_iommu and s390_iommu use lazy mode as
defalut, so there is no need to add code for them.
