[PATCH v2 6/6] mm: constify the pte_offset_map_ro_nolock() return value

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Constify the pte_t * retval from pte_offset_map_ro_nolock(), for which it is
already pledged that accesses must be read-only. With it, convert the three
treewide users to use const pte_t *.

khugepaged passes the result right down to fault code (do_swap_page()). This
leads to a complicated set of conditions that, in order to be correct, must
not install anything into *vmf->pte. This is not trivial to work around in
fault code, and as such just trivially cast to non-const pte_t* in the
meantime.

The other users are far more trivial and the conversion is equally
trivially simple.
