Subject: [PATCH net-next] Revert "ipv4: make net_protocol const"

This reverts commit aa8db499ea67cff1f5f049033810ffede2fe5ae4.

Early demux structs can not be made const. Doing so results in:

I think this is the second time such a patch has been reverted.

Bhumika: How are you testing these constify changes? In this case a simple
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_early_demux=1 would have shown the problem
