iommu/vt-d: Enable Intel IOMMU scalable mode by default

commit 792fb43ce2 upstream.

The commit 8950dcd83a ("iommu/vt-d: Leave scalable mode default off")
leaves the scalable mode default off and end users could turn it on with
"intel_iommu=sm_on". Using the Intel IOMMU scalable mode for kernel DMA,
user-level device access and Shared Virtual Address have been enabled.
This enables the scalable mode by default if the hardware advertises the
support and adds kernel options of "intel_iommu=sm_on/sm_off" for end
users to configure it through the kernel parameters.
