    Constify struct kset_uevent_ops.
    
    This is part of the ops structure constification
    effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
    
    Benefits of this constification:
    
     * prevents modification of data that is shared
       (referenced) by many other structure instances
       at runtime
    
     * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
       modification attempts on archs that enforce
       read-only kernel data at runtime
    
     * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
       can assume that the const data cannot be changed
    
     * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
       and therefore exclude them from false sharing
