x86, mtrr: Constify struct mtrr_ops

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing
