[PATCH 2/4] drivers/base/devtmpfs.c: don't pretend path is const in delete_path

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Wed Aug 22 2018 - 07:00:20 EST


path is the result of kstrdup, and we repeatedly call strrchr on it,
modifying it through the returned pointer. So there's no reason to
pretend path is const.
