[PATCH 1/5] bpf: Constify ctl_table argument of filter function

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Mon Jul 29 2024 - 16:45:19 EST


The sysctl core is moving to allow "struct ctl_table" in read-only memory.
As a preparation for that all functions handling "struct ctl_table" need
to be able to work with "const struct ctl_table".
As __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl() does not modify its table, it can be
adapted trivially.
