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
