Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: cpufreq_stats: 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
1655 256 4 1915 77b drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o

File size After adding 'const':
text data bss dec hex filename
1695 192 4 1891 763 drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o
