hwmon: (core) Rename groups parameter in API to extra_groups

Browse Source 
The 'groups' parameter of hwmon_device_register_with_info() and
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() is only necessary if extra
non-standard attributes need to be provided. Rename the parameter
to extra_groups and clarify the documentation.

The header file linux/hwmon-sysfs.h provides a number of useful macros to
declare and use hardware monitoring sysfs attributes.
