Linus Torvalds 980f8f8fd4 Summary
* sysctl ctl_table constification
 
   Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler
   function pointers. All ctl_table struct arguments are const qualified in the
   sysctl API in such a way that the ctl_table arrays being defined elsewhere
   and passed through sysctl can be constified one-by-one. We kick the
   constification off by qualifying user_table in kernel/ucount.c and expect all
   the ctl_tables to be constified in the coming releases.
 
 * Misc fixes
 
   Adjust comments in two places to better reflect the code. Remove superfluous
   dput calls. Remove Luis from sysctl maintainership. Replace comments about
   holding a lock with calls to lockdep_assert_held.
 
 * Testing
 
   All these went through 0-day and they have all been in linux-next for at
   least 1 month (since Oct-24). I also rand these through the sysctl selftest
   for x86_64.
