module: Make srcu_struct ptr array as read-only

Since commit title ("srcu: Allocate per-CPU data for DEFINE_SRCU() in
modules"), modules that call DEFINE_{STATIC,}SRCU will have a new array
of srcu_struct pointers, which is used by srcu code to initialize and
clean up these structures and save valuable per-cpu reserved space.

There is no reason for this array of pointers to be writable, and can
cause security or other hidden bugs. Mark these are read-only after the
module init has completed.

Tested with the following diff to ensure array not writable:

(diff is a bit reduced to avoid patch command getting confused)
