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
  12582   15361      20   27963    6d3b kernel/cpu.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  12710   15265      20   27995    6d5b kernel/cpu.o
