coresight: configfs: Constify struct config_item_type
'struct config_item_type' is not modified in this driver.
These structures are only used with config_group_init_type_name() which
takes a "const struct config_item_type *" as a 3rd argument or with
struct config_group.cg_item.ci_type which is also a "const struct
config_item_type	*".
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:

After:
=====
