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")
