The `struct attribute_group` and `struct kobj_type` are not

Constifying these structure and moving them to a read-only section,
and this can increase over all security.

Small thing, I hope you included before and after logs in commit msg to
show that some of the data section moved to text as you made these
variables constant. If not, please move these after ---.
You mean remove the '```' or move the whole part after --- ?
Never mind. IMO, mentioning these stats was really optional since we are
not saving any memory here. This could have been moved to the section
after --- so that it does not get captured in git log.
Thank you, I got it and have learned something.
Thanks,

However there's
no harm in keeping it where it is. So your call.
