This makes things inconsistent now. The tegra_smmu_find_swgroup() name
indicates that we're looking for some "swgroup" entity within an "smmu"
object. The entity that we're looking for is a struct tegra_smmu_swgroup
so I think it makes sense to use that full name in the function name.

I don't think the existing naming is confusing. The variable name
"group" is consistently used for tegra_smmu_swgroup structures and there
are no cases where we would confuse them with struct tegra_smmu_group
instances.

However, I don't feel strongly about it, so I'm fine with changing the
variable names to "swgrp" if you think that makes things less confusing.
