Linus Torvalds b485625078 sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers
Summary
 - const qualify struct ctl_table args in proc_handlers:
   This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata
   data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be
   modified.

Pull sysctl constification from Joel Granados:
 "Treewide constification of the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers
  using a coccinelle script and some manual code formatting fixups.

  This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into
  read-only data section which will ensure that proc_handler function
  pointers cannot be modified"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
