Three LSMs register the implementations for the "capget" hook: AppArmor,
SELinux, and the normal capability code. Looking at the function
implementations we may observe that the first parameter "target" is not
changing.
Mark the first argument "target" of LSM hook security_capget() as
"const" since it will not be changing in the LSM hook.
cap_capget() LSM hook declaration exceeds the 80 characters per line
limit. Split the function declaration to multple lines to decrease the
line length.
