[PATCH 2/2] Revert "l2tp: constify inet6_protocol structures"

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Tue Aug 01 2017 - 12:53:13 EST


This reverts commit d04916a48ad4a3db892b664fa9c3a2a693c378ad.

inet6_add_protocol and inet6_del_protocol include casts that remove the
effect of the const annotation on their parameter, leading to possible
runtime crashes.
