In preparation for making the devm_kmalloc family of allocators type aware, we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.)
The assigned type is "const struct attribute_group **", but the converted allocation type would be "struct attribute_group **", which is the same type without the const qualifier. As there is no general way to safely add const qualifiers, take the size from the assignment target instead. No change in allocation size results.
