[PATCH] net: bonding: constify attribute_group structures.

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/netdevice.h> work
with const attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.

File size before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4512	   1472	      0	   5984	   1760	drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4576	   1408	      0	   5984	   1760	drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.o
