wifi: ath6kl: Constify struct cfg80211_ops

Browse Source 
'struct cfg80211_ops' is not modified in this driver.

Constifying this 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, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 143726	  34579	    192	 178497	  2b941	drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 144814	  33491	    192	 178497	  2b941	drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.o
