The 'g_physinfo' and 'ncpus' variables are initialized only during the
init phase in the 'bind_virq_for_mce' function and never changed. So,
mark them as __ro_after_init.

The 'xen_mce_chrdev_device' variable is initialized only in the
declaration and never changed. So, this variable could be 'const', but
using the 'misc_register' and 'misc_deregister' functions discards the
'const' qualifier. Therefore, as an alternative, mark it as
__ro_after_init.
