uio: Constify struct kobj_type

Browse Source 
These 'struct kobj_type' are not modified. They are only used in
kobject_init() which takes a 'const struct kobj_type *ktype'
parameter.

Constifying these structure and moving them to a read-only
section (from data to text), and can increase over all security.

```
[Before]
   text   data    bss    dec    hex    filename
  10330   1908     20  12258   2fe2    drivers/uio/uio.o

[After]
  text    data    bss    dec    hex    filename
  10458   1844     20  12322   3022    drivers/uio/uio.o
```
