[PATCH] x86: mce: make mce_subsys const

From: Ricardo B. Marliere
Date: Sun Feb 04 2024 - 09:32:11 EST


Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the mce_subsys variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.
