Function free_cpu_cached_iovas() is not only called when a CPU is

FWIW I read it as clarifying why this is broken out into a separate function vs. a monolithic "free all cached IOVAs" routine that handles both the per-cpu and global caches - it never said "*only* used..."

As such I'd hesitate to call it incorrect, but it's certainly arguable whether it needs to be stated or not, especially once the hotplug callsite is now obvious in the same file - on which note the function itself also shouldn't need to be public any more, no?
