x86/mce: Make mce_chrdev_ops 'static const'
Arjan would like to make struct file_operations const, but mce-inject directly writes to the mce_chrdev_ops to install its write handler. In an ideal world mce-inject would have its own character device, but we have a sizable legacy of test scripts that hardwire "/dev/mcelog", so it would be painful to switch to a separate device now. Instead, this patch switches to a stub function in the mce code, with a registration helper that mce-inject can call when it is loaded. Note that this would also allow for a sane process to allow mce-inject to be unloaded again (with an unregister function, and appropriate module_{get,put}() calls), but that is left for potential future patches.
