s/does/does not/

BTW, I like how the retries here fill the gap in my previous proposal
where we could still race re-pinning.  We've given it an honest shot or
someone is not participating if we've retried 10 times.  I don't
understand why the test for iommu->external_domain was there, clearly
if the list is not empty, we need to notify.  Thanks,

Alex
