[PATCH v5 2/7] sysfs: transparently handle const pointers in ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS()

["Thomas Weißschuh" <linux@weissschuh.net>]

To ease the constification process of 'struct attribute', transparently
handle the const pointers in ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(). A cast is used instead
of assigning to .attrs_new as it keeps the macro smaller. As both
members are aliased to each other the result is identical.
