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
  15816     865      88   16769    4181 drivers/block/loop.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  15880     801      88   16769    4181 drivers/block/loop.o
