In the current code, three atomic memory pools are always created,
atomic_pool_kernel|dma|dma32, even though 'coherent_pool=0' is
specified in kernel command line. In fact, atomic pool is only
necessary when CONFIG_DMA_DIRECT_REMAP=y or mem_encrypt_active=y
which are needed on few ARCHes.
So change code to allow user to disable atomic pool by specifying
'coherent_pool=0'.
Meanwhile, update the relevant document in kernel-parameter.txt.

Sets the size of memory pool for coherent, atomic dma

with memory capacity, while clamped between 128K and
1 << (PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER-1).
