[PATCH] drivers: rapidio: make rio_bus_type const

[PATCH] drivers: rapidio: make rio_bus_type const

[Adrian Barnaś]

Because driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the rio_bus_type to be a constant structure as well, placing it into
read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.
