Subject: [PATCH 1/3] platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Make kobj_type
 structure constant

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.")
the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.

Take advantage of this to constify the structure definition to prevent
modification at runtime.
