Subject: [PATCH v2] sony-laptop: constify spic_attribute_group and sony_laptop_input_index.

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
  31273	   5176	    372	  36821	   8fd5	drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  31337	   5112	    372	  36821	   8fd5	drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.o

Changes in v2:
              Resolve warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers]
  key_dev->keycode = &sony_laptop_input_keycode_map;
