Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / dock: constify attribute_group structure

Functions working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h>
work with const attribute_group. These attribute_group structures do not
change at runtime so mark them as const.

File size before:
text data bss dec hex filename
7902 3528 64 11494 2ce6 drivers/acpi/dock.o

File size after:
text data bss dec hex filename
7998 3432 64 11494 2ce6 drivers/acpi/dock.o

This change was made with the help of Coccinelle.
