Given now we have two @alloc ops it'd be clearer to also update the
comment here so the explanation for @domain_alloc_user() is easier
to be understood, e.g.:

@domain_alloc: allocate and return an iommu domain if success. Otherwise
               NULL is returned. The domain is not fully initialized until
               the caller iommu_domain_alloc() returns.

"Unlike @domain_alloc, it is called only by iommufd and must fully initialize
the new domain before return".

*domain* here already refers to the generic iommu_domain struct.
