Subject: [PATCH 3/9] selinux: declare name parameter of hash_eval const

String literals are passed as second argument to hash_eval(). Also the
parameter is already declared const in the DEBUG_HASHES configuration.

Reported by clang [-Wwrite-strings]:

    security/selinux/ss/policydb.c:1881:26: error: passing 'const char [8]' to parameter of type 'char *' discards qualifiers [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers]
