[PATCH v3 1/2] media: iris: Document difference in size during allocation

[Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@chromium.org>]

As we get ready for kzalloc checking for invalid sizes, let's add
documentation for the cases where the size is different but valid.

This patch fixes this cocci warning:
./platform/qcom/iris/iris_hfi_gen2_command.c:1215:9-25: WARNING: casting value returned by memory allocation function to (struct iris_inst *) is useless.
