[PATCH v2] net: moxa: constify net_device_ops structures

[Bhumika Goyal]

Declare net_device_ops structure as const as it is only stored in
the netdev_ops field of a net_device structure. This field is of type
const, so net_device_ops structures having same properties can be made
const too.
Done using Coccinelle:
