block/rnbd: Constify struct kobj_type

'struct kobj_type' is not modified in this driver. It is only used with
kobject_init_and_add() which takes a "const struct kobj_type *" parameter.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4082     792       8    4882    1312 drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o

After:
=====
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4210     672       8    4890    131a drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o
