[PATCH] security: declare member holding string literal const

[Christian Göttsche <cgzones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The struct security_hook_list member lsm is assigned in
security_add_hooks() with string literals passed from the individual
security modules.  Declare the function parameter and the struct member
const to signal their immutability.

Reported by Clang [-Wwrite-strings]:

    security/selinux/hooks.c:7388:63: error: passing 'const char [8]' to parameter of type 'char *' discards qualifiers [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers]
            security_add_hooks(selinux_hooks, ARRAY_SIZE(selinux_hooks), selinux);

                                          ^
