sysctl: treewide: constify argument ctl_table_root::permissions(table)

Browse Source 
The permissions callback should not modify the ctl_table. Enforce this
expectation via the typesystem. This is a step to put "struct ctl_table"
into .rodata throughout the kernel.

The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:

  @@
  identifier func, head, ctl;
  @@

  int func(
    struct ctl_table_header *head,
  - struct ctl_table *ctl)
  + const struct ctl_table *ctl)
  { ... }

(insert_entry() from fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c is a false-positive)

No additional occurrences of '.permissions =' were found after a
tree-wide search for places missed by the conccinelle script.
