I went with group_balance_mask() to match the existing
group_balance_cpu().

And now the temptation is very great to also fix up the
sched_group_cpus() vs sched_domain_span() thing...

Subject: sched/topology: Rename sched_group_mask()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Since sched_group_mask() is now an independent cpumask (it no longer
masks sched_group_cpus()), rename the thing.
