move the setting of handle.domain into the helper?

this leads to a slightly different implication comparing to the old code.

the domain pointer was always tracked in the old code but now the handle
is optional.

if iommu core only needs to know whether a pasid has been attached (as
in this helper), it still works as xa_insert() will mark the entry as reserved
if handle==NULL and next xa_insert() at the same index will fail due to
the entry being reserved.

But if certain path (other than iopf) in the iommu core needs to know
the exact domain pointer then this change breaks it.

Anyway some explanation is welcomed here for why this change is safe.

if the entry is valid do we want to keep the WARN_ON() upon handle->domain?
