[PATCH] notify: constify fsnotify_ops structures

From: Bhumika Goyal
Date: Tue Jan 10 2017 - 14:50:35 EST


Declare fsnotify_ops structures as const as they are only passed as an
argument to the function fsnotify_alloc_group. This argument is of type
const, so fsnotify_ops structures having the same property can be
declared const too.
Done using Coccinelle:

@r1 disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;

static struct fsnotify_ops i@p={...};

@ok1@
