Subject: [PATCH] cleancache: constify cleancache_ops structure

The cleancache_ops structure is never modified, so declare it as const.

This also removes the __read_mostly declaration on the cleancache_ops
variable declaration, since it seems redundant with const.

Done with the help of Coccinelle.

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

---

Not sure that the __read_mostly change is correct.  Does it apply to the
variable, or to what the variable points to?
