 swiotlb: add a IO_TLB_SIZE define

This is 5th variant of marking upstream commits, and I need to update
my scripts again.

Could we please put this into Signed-off area, where it belongs, so it
is easy to see who touched the patch for mainline, and stop this
creativity?

I'd like to see

Upstream: b5d7ccb7aac3895c2138fe0980a109116ce15eff

here. Probably. Note that it has additional advantage that you can
easily marked who Acked/Tested the patch for mainline, and who tested
it in the stable context.
