smp_ops providers do not modify their ops structures, so they should be made const for robustness. Since currently the MIPS kernel is not mapped with memory protection, this does not in itself provide any security benefit, but it still makes sense to make this change. There are also slight code size efficincies from the structure being made read-only, saving 128 bytes of kernel text on a pistachio_defconfig.
