wifi: mwifiex: Constify struct mwifiex_if_ops

Browse source 
'struct mwifiex_if_ops' are not modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures 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, as an example:
Before:
======

  61439	   4367	     32	  65838	  1012e	drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  61699	   4127	     32	  65858	  10142	drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.o
