[PATCH v5 2/6] dma: swiotlb: Track whether the pool size was explicitly set

swiotlb_adjust_size() must not override a pool size supplied through the
swiotlb= command-line parameter.

Currently, it determines whether a size was supplied by comparing
default_nslabs with IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE. This fails when the user
explicitly requests the compiled-in default size, allowing the request
to be overwritten by automatic pool sizing.

Record whether swiotlb= supplied a numeric size and add
swiotlb_default_size_changed() to query that state.
