trace: fix compiler warning in branch profiler

Impact: fix compiler warning

The ftrace_pointers used in the branch profiler are constant values.
They should never change. But the compiler complains when they are
passed into the debugfs_create_file as a data pointer, because the
function discards the qualifier.

This patch typecasts the parameter to debugfs_create_file back to
a void pointer. To remind the callbacks that they are pointing to
a constant value, I also modified the callback local pointers to
be const struct ftrace_pointer * as well.
