Commit 52916982af48 ("PCI/P2PDMA: Support peer-to-peer memory"; v4.20)
introduced the following text: "there's no way to determine whether the
root complex supports forwarding between them." A later commit added a
whitelist check in the function that comment applies to. Update the
comment to reflect the addition of the whitelist check.

Thanks for the vigilant patch, but I've already got a series[1] that
cleans up most of these commits. It looks like this patch will conflict
with that series.

Hi Logan,

Thanks for the pointer. I'm fine with dropping this patch.
