This is more like an indirect change to keep consistency between
function name and pointer name.

If we don't rename it, then PATCH-4 adds to struct tegra_smmu_group
a "struct tegra_smmu_swgroup *group", which results in a confusing
group->group...

Yea, I'd like to keep this change. I will respin it in next version
after fixing other comments.
