The i40e_client_ops structure is never modified, so declare it as const.

Done with the help of Coccinelle.

I already have this patch queued up to push through David Miller's net-next 
tree.

Julia- please do not shotgun blast several maintainers and several lists,
it causes confusion on who is *REALLY* going to accept and apply the patch.
Please use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to get the correct mailing lists and
maintainers to add to the To: and CC: lines.

I do.  Probably the patch affects files maintained by different people.  
My assumption would be that everyone responsible for the code that is 
affected by the patch would want to see it.  Perhaps there would have been 
a way to separate it, but the const annotations typically have to be 
consistent everywhere.

I've dropped it from my tree.  There won't be a conflict.
