[PATCH 05/15] arm/xen: don't check for xen_initial_domain() in xen_create_contiguous_region

From: Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini at kernel.org>

It used to be that Linux enabled swiotlb-xen when running a dom0 on ARM.
Since f5079a9a2a31 "xen/arm: introduce XENFEAT_direct_mapped and
XENFEAT_not_direct_mapped", Linux detects whether to enable or disable
swiotlb-xen based on the new feature flags: XENFEAT_direct_mapped and
XENFEAT_not_direct_mapped.

However, there is still a leftover xen_initial_domain() check in
xen_create_contiguous_region. Remove the check as
xen_create_contiguous_region is only called by swiotlb-xen during
initialization. If xen_create_contiguous_region is called, we know Linux
is running 1:1 mapped so there is no need for additional checks.

Also update the in-code comment.
