Subject: [PATCH] x86/iommu: Fix header comments regarding standard and _FINISH
 macros

The comment line regarding IOMMU_INIT and IOMMU_INIT_FINISH macros
is incorrect:

"The standard vs the _FINISH differs in that the _FINISH variant will
continue detecting other IOMMUs in the call list..."

It should be "..the *standard* variant will continue detecting..."

Fix that. Also, make it readable while at it.
