[PATCH] perf: Constify struct bus_type

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Sat Jul 20 2024 - 06:42:30 EST


'struct bus_type' is not modified in this driver.

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:
======
text data bss dec hex filename
273314 16956 716 290986 470aa kernel/events/core.o

After:
=====
text data bss dec hex filename
273474 16764 716 290954 4708a kernel/events/core.o
