* 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.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
