[PATCH] vfio: uapi: fix comment typo

[PATCH] vfio: uapi: fix comment typo

[Joseph Salisbury]

The file contains a spelling error in a source comment (succes).

Typos in comments reduce readability and make text searches less reliable
for developers and maintainers.

Replace 'succes' with 'success' in the affected comment. This is a
comment-only cleanup and does not change behavior.

I inadvertently added Fixes: and Cc: stable tags.  If possible, please 
remove them as they are not appropriate for fixes to misspellings in 
code comments.  If it's not possible to remove them, I can send a v2.

Applied to vfio next branch for v7.1.  Fixes and stable tags dropped.
