Subject: [PATCH 3/7] perf: x86: intel: uncore_snb: constify attribute_group structures.

attribute_group are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_group provided by 'uncore.h' work with const
attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.

File size before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4158	   4792	      0	   8950	   22f6	arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snb.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4350	   4600	      0	   8950	   22f6	arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snb.o
