    'struct kobj_type' is not modified. It is only used in 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 defconfig:
    Before:
    ======
       text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
       7036	   2136	     56	   9228	   240c	fs/orangefs/orangefs-sysfs.o
    
    After:
    ======
       text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
       7484	   1880	     56	   9420	   24cc	fs/orangefs/orangefs-sysfs.o
