'struct watchdog_ops' and 'struct watchdog_info' are not modified in this
driver.

Constifying these structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:

   7319	   1768	      0	   9087	   237f	drivers/watchdog/apple_wdt.o

After:
=====

   7543	   1544	      0	   9087	   237f	drivers/watchdog/apple_wdt.o
