ipvlan: constify l3mdev_ops structure
This l3mdev_ops structure is only stored in the l3mdev_ops field of a
net_device structure. This field is declared const, so the l3mdev_ops
structure can be declared as const also. Additionally drop the
__read_mostly annotation.
The semantic patch that adds const is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct l3mdev_ops i@p = { ... };
@ok@
identifier r.i;
struct net_device *e;
position p;
@@
e->l3mdev_ops = &i@p;
@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct l3mdev_ops e;
@@
e@i@p
@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@

+const
struct l3mdev_ops i = { ... };
// </smpl>
The effect on the layout of the .o file is shown by the following output
of the size command, first before then after the transformation:
