Hello:

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. To get
there, the proc_handler arguments must first be const qualified which
requires this (fairly large) treewide PR. Sending it in the tail end of
of the merge window after a suggestion from Kees to avoid unneeded merge
conflicts. It has been rebased on top of 7a3fad30fd8b4b5e370906b3c554f64026f56c2f.
I can send it later if it makes more sense on your side; please tell me
what you prefer.
