Add "()" after function names in subject and commit log.

Seems OK to me.  IIUC, this "domain" link is created in the directory
of the VMD pci_dev, and it points to the directory of the new "root
bus" behind the VMD.

Since it's unrelated to the *devices* on that new root bus, I would
probably move this even earlier, so it's with the other code that sets
up the new root bus, e.g., somewhere around vmd_attach_resources().
