Do not enable CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM by default
Larry Finger reports:
"My PowerBook G4 Aluminum with a 32-bit PPC processor fails to boot for
the 4.4-git series".
This is likely due to X still needing /dev/mem access on this platform.
CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is not yet safe to turn on when
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y.
Remove the default so that old configurations do not change behavior.
Fixes: 90a545e98126 ("restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges")
