Subject: [PATCH] usbip: change dev_attr_group to constant

From: Márton Németh <nm127@...email.hu>

The dev_attr_group variable is never changed and it is only passed
to the second parameter of sysfs_create_group() and sysfs_remove_group() functions.
These functions are defined in linux/sysfs.h: the second parameter is a pointer to
const in both cases.
