Even though SWIOTLB slab gets allocated and initialized on powerpc with
swiotlb_init() called during mem_init(), it gets released away again on
POWER platform because 'ppc_swiotlb_enable' never gets set. The function
swiotlb_detect_4g() checks for 4GB memory and then sets the variable
'ppc_swiotlb_enable' which prevents freeing up the SWIOTLB slab. Lets
make POWER platform call swiotlb_detect_4g() during setup_arch() which
will keep the SWIOTLB slab through out the runtime.
A previous commit cf5621032f ("powerpc/64: Limit ZONE_DMA32 to 4GiB in
swiotlb_detect_4g()") enforced 4GB limit on ZONE_DMA32 which is is not
applicable on POWER (CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64) platform. Lets remove this
unnecessary restriction.
After the patch, SWIOTLB slab does not get released.
