[PATCH] can: make struct proto const

[PATCH] can: make struct proto const

[Oliver Hartkopp]

can_ioctl is the only reason for struct proto to be non-const.
script/check-patch.pl suggests struct proto be const.

Setting the reference to the common can_ioctl() in all CAN protocols directly
removes the need to make the struct proto writable in af_can.c

Good idea to take this apart from my J1939 series.

Applied, thanks.
