Subject: [PATCH 11/11] sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of handlers

Adapt the proc_hander function signature to make it clear that handlers
are not supposed to modify their ctl_table argument.

This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into
rodata.
By migrating all handlers at once a lengthy transition can be avoided.

The patch was mostly generated by coccinelle with the following script:

@@
identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos;
@@

int func(
- struct ctl_table *ctl,
+ const struct ctl_table *ctl,
int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
{ ... }

In addition to the scripted changes some other changes are done:

* the typedef proc_handler is adapted

* the prototypes of non-static handler are adapted

* kernel/seccomp.c:{read,write}_actions_logged() and
kernel/watchdog.c:proc_watchdog_common() are adapted as they need to
adapted together with the handlers for type-consistency reasons
