dmaengine: Constify struct dma_descriptor_metadata_ops

Browse source

'struct dma_descriptor_metadata_ops' in not modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 120635	  21584	     64	 142283	  22bcb	drivers/dma/xilinx/xilinx_dma.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 120699	  21520	     64	 142283	  22bcb	drivers/dma/xilinx/xilinx_dma.o
