Check for ethtool_ops structures that are only stored in the ethtool_ops
field of a net_device structure or passed as the second argument to
netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops.  These contexts are declared const, so
ethtool_ops structures that have these properties can be declared as const
also.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct ethtool_ops i@p = { ... };

@ok1@
identifier r.i;
struct net_device e;
position p;

e.ethtool_ops = &i@p;

@ok2@
identifier r.i;
expression e;
position p;

netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops(e, &i@p)

@bad@
