[PATCH] hostfs: Add const qualifier to host_root in hostfs_fill_super()

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Tue Jun 11 2024 - 15:59:03 EST


After the recent conversion to the new mount API, there is a warning
when building hostfs (which may be upgraded to an error via
CONFIG_WERROR=y):

fs/hostfs/hostfs_kern.c: In function 'hostfs_fill_super':
fs/hostfs/hostfs_kern.c:942:27: warning: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
942 | char *host_root = fc->source;
| ^~

Add the 'const' qualifier, as host_root will not be modified after its
assignment. Move the assignment to keep the existing reverse Christmas
tree order intact.
