[PATCH 3/3] ACPI / scan: use kstrdup_const in acpi_add_id()

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Wed Sep 09 2015 - 18:00:28 EST


Empirically, acpi_add_id is mostly called with string literals, so
using kstrdup_const for initializing struct acpi_hardware_id::id saves
a little run-time memory and a string copy.
