Remove the const marking from the actor function pointer in the dir_context
struct. The const prevents the structure from being used as part of a
kmalloc'd object as it makes the compiler require that the actor member be
set at object initialisation time (or not at all), incuring something like
the following error if you try and set it later:
fs/afs/dir.c:556:20: error: assignment of read-only member 'actor'
Marking the member const like this adds very little in the way of sanity
checking as the type checking system is likely to provide sufficient - and
if not, the kernel is very likely to oops repeatably in this case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
