RDMA/umem: Constify struct dma_buf_attach_ops

Browse source

'struct dma_buf_attach_ops' are not modified in this driver.

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
  10300	   1216	      0	  11516	   2cfc	drivers/infiniband/core/umem_dmabuf.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  10428	   1088	      0	  11516	   2cfc	drivers/infiniband/core/umem_dmabuf.o
