[PATCH] fs: fix over-zealous use of "const"
From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Apr 21 2016 - 15:53:36 EST
When I was fixing up const recommendations from checkpatch.pl, I went
overboard. This fixes the warning (during a W=1 build):
include/linux/fs.h:2627:74: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type [-Wignored-qualifiers]
static inline const char * const kernel_read_file_id_str(enum kernel_read_file_id id)
