[PATCH] qlogic: netxen: constify bin_attribute structures

[Bhumika Goyal]

Declare bin_attribute structures as const as they are only passed as an
arguments to the functions device_remove_bin_file and
device_create_bin_file. These function arguments are of type const, so
bin_attribute structures having this property can be made const too.
Done using Coccinelle:

@r1 disable optional_qualifier @
identifier i;
position p;

static struct bin_attribute i@p = {...};

@ok1@
identifier r1.i;
position p,p1;
