Subject: [PATCH] PM / sleep: constify attribute_group structures.

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
3802 624 32 4458 116a kernel/power/main.o

File size After adding 'const':
text data bss dec hex filename
3866 560 32 4458 116a kernel/power/main.o
