The inet6_protocol structure is only passed as the first argument to inet6_add_protocol or inet6_del_protocol, both of which are declared as const. Thus the inet6_protocol structure itself can be const. Also drop __read_mostly where present on the newly const structures. Done with the help of Coccinelle.
