powerpc: Constify struct kobj_type

'struct kobj_type' is not modified. It is only used in
kobject_init_and_add()/kobject_init() which takes
a 'const struct kobj_type *ktype' parameter.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section,
so increase over all security.

On a x86_64, compiled with ppc64 defconfig:
Before:
======
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7145     606       0    7751    1e47 arch/powerpc/kernel/cacheinfo.o
   3663     384      16    4063     fdf arch/powerpc/kernel/secvar-sysfs.o

After:
======
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7193     558       0    7751    1e47 arch/powerpc/kernel/cacheinfo.o
   3663     384      16    4063     fdf arch/powerpc/kernel/secvar-sysfs.o
