attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime.  All functions
working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with
const attribute_group.  So mark the non-const structs as const.

File size before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1120     544      16    1680     690 kernel/ksysfs.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1160     480      16    1656     678 kernel/ksysfs.o
