Subject: [PATCH V2] irqdomain: Add documentation for irq_create_of_mapping()

Add a description for 'irq_create_of_mapping()' and make explicit the fact
that the resources allocated by this function can be freed by calling
'irq_dispose_mapping()' when needed (i.e. error handling path, remove
function, ...)

The wording can certainly be improved.

My goal is only to make clear if patches such as:
   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201214202117.146293-1-christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr/
are needed or not.

v2: Fix typo and improve style
