Convert struct rvu_block block to const struct rvu_block *block in
get_lf_str_list() function parameter. This improves efficiency by
avoiding structure copying and reflects the function's read-only
access to block.

Fixes: e77bcdd1f639 (octeontx2-af: Display all enabled PF VF rsrc_alloc entries.)

Hi Riyan,

Thanks for your patch.

While I agree that this is a nice change I don't feel that it is
a fix, typically something that addresses a user-visible bug.

I suggest that the patch should be treated as an enhancement.
It should not have a Fixes tag. And it should be targeted at
net-next (as opposed to net, which is, in general, for fixes).

	Subject: [PATCH net-next] ...

Please note that net-next is currently closed for the v6.12 merge window.
It should reopen after v6.12-rc1 has been released, likely during
the week of the 30th September.

So please consider reposting your patch once net-next has reopened.
