I agree that the transition can only go in one direction, but it's
still conditional on the scope of all groups involved. We are
"updating" the iommu state based on the change of a group. Renaming
this to "promote" seems like a matter of personal preference.

Currently it's the caller that avoids using this function when the
iommu scope is already correct. In fact the changes induces a
redundant test in the pin_pages code path, we're changing a group from
non-pinned-page-scope to pinned-page-scope, therefore the iommu scope
cannot initially be scope limited. In the attach_group call path,
we're moving that test from the caller, so at best we've introduced an
additional function call.
The function as it exists today is also more versatile whereas the
"promote" version here forces it to a single task with no appreciable
difference in complexity or code. This seems like a frivolous change.
Thanks,
Alex
