Subject: [RFC 1/1] proc: constify seq_operations

proc_uid_seq_operations, proc_gid_seq_operations and proc_projid_seq_operations
are only called in proc_id_map_open with seq_open as
const struct seq_operations so we can constify the 3 structures and update
proc_id_map_open prototype.

(
If it's correct, do I have to send separate patches or different subject ?

Thanks,
Fabian
