#1384542 — [PATCH] fs: fix over-zealous use of "const"

Subject[PATCH] fs: fix over-zealous use of "const"
Message-ID<rqsVA-6gR-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
When I was fixing up const recommendations from checkpatch.pl, I went
overboard. This fixes the warning (during a W=1 build):

include/linux/fs.h:2627:74: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type [-Wignored-qualifiers]
static inline const char * const kernel_read_file_id_str(enum kernel_read_file_id id)
