[PATCH v3 3/5] vfio/iommu_type1: Remove the domain->ops comparison

The domain->ops validation was added, as a precaution, for mixed-driver
systems.

Per Robin's remarks,
* While bus_set_iommu() still exists, the core code prevents multiple
  drivers from registering, so we can't really run into a situation of
  having a mixed-driver system:
  https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/6e1280c5-4b22-ebb3-3912-6c72bc169982@arm.com/

* And there's plenty more significant problems than this to fix; in future
  when many can be permitted, we will rely on the IOMMU core code to check
  the domain->ops:
  https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/6575de6d-94ba-c427-5b1e-967750ddff23@arm.com/

So remove the check in VFIO for simplicity.
