afb903f28c const_structs.checkpatch: remove drm_connector from the list
In some cases drm_connector_funcs cannot be const. For example,
if the connector is created in one module, and it's passed to
another module and is allowed to be changed by that module as
that module has specific info required to implement it.

15c03cfeab const_structs.checkpatch: add frequently used from Julia Lawall's list
Using const is generally a good idea.

Julia Lawall has created a list of always const and almost always const
structs in the kernel sources.

Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/28/95

Add the most frequently used (> 50 cases) that are almost always or
always const.
