Provide a resource managed version of kstrdup_const(). This variant

Make devm_kfree() check if the passed pointer doesn't point to .rodata
and if so - don't actually destroy the resource.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
