of: declare string literals const

Browse Source 
of_overlay_action_name() returns a string literal from a function local
array.  Modifying string literals is undefined behavior which usage of
const pointer can avoid.  of_overlay_action_name() is currently only
used once in overlay_notify() to print the returned value.

While on it declare the data array const as well.
