Subject: [PATCH 7/9] genetlink: allow making ops const

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

Allow making the ops array const by not modifying the ops
flags on registration but rather only when ops are sent
out in the family information.

No users are updated yet except for the pre_doit/post_doit
calls in wireless (the only ones that exist now.)

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>
