Subject: [PATCH] block: Constify static attribute_group structs

Either their address is put in an array of pointers to const attribute
groups structs, or the address is passed to sysfs_create_group() which
accepts a pointer to const struct attribute group. Make them const to
allow the compiler to put them in read-only memory.
