[PATCH v1 06/18] perf tools: Use const for variables receiving str{str,r?chr}() returns

[Shreenidhi Shedi <yesshedi@gmail.com>]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>

commit 45718bce7daf39c618188b70a52644bb5a2f968a upstream

Newer glibc versions return const char for str{str,chr}() where the
haystack/s is const so to avoid warnings like these on fedora 44 change
some variables to const:

  36     8.17 fedora:44                     : FAIL gcc version 15.2.1 20251111 (Red Hat 15.2.1-4) (GCC)
    libbpf.c: In function 'kallsyms_cb':
    libbpf.c:8489:13: error: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
     8489 |         res = strstr(sym_name, ".llvm.");
