futex(2) says that 'utime' is a pointer to 'const'. The implementation
doesn't use 'const'; however, it _never_ modifies the contents of utime.
- futex() either uses 'utime' as a pointer to struct or as a 'u32'.
- In case it's used as a 'u32', it makes a copy of it, and of course it is
not dereferenced.
- In case it's used as a 'struct __kernel_timespec __user *', the pointer
is not dereferenced inside the futex() definition, and it is only passed
to a function: get_timespec64(), which accepts a 'const struct
__kernel_timespec __user *'.
[ tglx: Make the same change to the compat syscall and fixup the prototypes. ]
