[PATCH 5/9] arm64: alternatives: make alt_region const

[Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>]

We never alter a struct alt_region after creation, and we open-code the
bounds of the kernel alternatives region in two functions.

This patch adds a shared struct alt_region, and marks the alt regions as
const to prevent unintentional modification.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
