Subject: [PATCH] configfs: make ci_type field and some pointers const

The ci_type field of the config_item structure do not modify the fields of
the config_item_type structure it points to. And the other pointers
initialized with ci_type do not modify the fields as well.
So, make the ci_type field and the pointers initialized with ci_type 
as const.
