watchdog: apple: Constify some structures

Browse source

'struct watchdog_ops' and 'struct watchdog_info' are not modified in this
driver.

Constifying these structure 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:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   7319	   1768	      0	   9087	   237f	drivers/watchdog/apple_wdt.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   7543	   1544	      0	   9087	   237f	drivers/watchdog/apple_wdt.o
