[PATCH v3] drm/xe: Normalize default param values

Document xe module params with the default values following a similar
strategy for all of them:

	1) Define a DEFAULT_* macro with the default value. When the
	   value can't be directly stringified, also define a *_STR
	   variant
	2) Use __stringify() or the _STR variant to make sure the
	   default value shows up in the param description

This allows us to show the correct default according to the
configuration. max_vfs for example was wrongly documented for
CONFIG_DRM_XE_DEBUG and svm_notifier_size didn't have its default
documented.

Changes in v3:
- First 2 patches merged
- Rework the last one according to review feedback (John Harrison):
  - Add missing DEFAULT_VRAM_BAR_SIZE
  - Define DEFAULT_MAX_VFS_STR based on DEFAULT_MAX_VFS if possible
  - Bring back ifdef for CONFIG_PCI_IOV
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250613-guc-log-level-v2-0-cb84a63e49fe@intel.com

Changes in v2:
- Rework the second patch so the default is kept in a single place and
  the module description doesn't need to be repeated according to the
  configuration, suggested by Michal Wajdeczko.
- Add a new patch to normalize all module param descriptions
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250612-guc-log-level-v1-0-51f124a3be6d@intel.com
