This fixes the compile error "multiple definition of `dev_attr_modalias'"
by adding the static modifier to DEVICE_ATTR_RO(modalias).
This change was made in the mainline kernel in 2460942f51f1 ("serdev: do
not generate modaliases for controllers") along with some other changes.
Fixes: 4fe99816a1ab ("tty: serdev: use dev_groups and not dev_attrs for bus_type")

Should we pick up the patch 2460942f51f1 ("serdev: do not generate modaliases
for controllers") for stable or is this patch good enough?
