[PATCH] xen/usb: Constify struct hc_driver



'struct hc_driver' 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
  52065   23176     256   75497   126e9 drivers/usb/host/xen-hcd.o

After:
=====
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  52897   22344     256   75497   126e9 drivers/usb/host/xen-hcd.o
