vfio/mdev: Constify struct kobj_type
This 'struct kobj_type' is not modified. It is only used in kobject_init_and_add() which takes a 'const struct kobj_type *ktype' parameter. Constifying this structure and moving it to a read-only section, and this can increase over all security. ``` [Before] text data bss dec hex filename 2372 600 0 2972 b9c drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_sysfs.o [After] text data bss dec hex filename 2436 568 0 3004 bbc drivers/vfio/mdev/mdev_sysfs.o ``` Signed-off-by: Hongbo Li <lihongbo22@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240904011837.2010444-1-lihongbo22@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
