Linux VM on Hyper-V crashes with the latest mainline:

[    4.069624] detected buffer overflow in strcpy

This is because of the recent buffer overflow detection in the
commit 6a39e62abbaf ("lib: string.h: detect intra-object overflow in fortified string functions")

Here acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id can only hold 14 characters, while the
the acpi_device_hid(device) returns a 22-char string
"HYPER_V_GEN_COUNTER_V1".

Per ACPI Spec v6.2, Section 6.1.5 _HID (Hardware ID), if the ID is a
string, it must be of the form AAA#### or NNNN####, i.e. 7 chars or 8
chars.

The field bus_id in struct acpi_device_bus_id was originally defined as
char bus_id[9], and later was enlarged to char bus_id[15] in 2007 in the
commit bb0958544f3c ("ACPI: use more understandable bus_id for ACPI devices")

Fix the issue by changing the field bus_id to const char *, and use
kstrdup_const() to initialize it.

Changes in v2:
    strlcpy -> kstrdup_const. Thanks Rafael J. Wysocki!
    Change commit log accordingly.
