[PATCH] cxl: make cdx_bus_type constant

[PATCH] cxl: make cdx_bus_type constant

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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