kvm/vfio: Constify struct kvm_device_ops

'struct kvm_device_ops' is not modified in this driver.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:
======
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2605     169      16    2790     ae6 virt/kvm/vfio.o

After:
=====
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2685      89      16    2790     ae6 virt/kvm/vfio.o
