[PATCH 5/6] drm/fb-helper: Consolidate CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM

Consolidate all handling of CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM by
making the module parameter optional in drm_fb_helper.c.

Without the config option, modules can set smem_start in struct
fb_info for internal usage, but not export if to userspace. The
address can only be exported by enabling the option and setting
the module parameter. Also update the comment.
