Merge branch 'work.const-path' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull 'struct path' constification update from Al Viro:
 "'struct path' is passed by reference to a bunch of Linux security
  methods; in theory, there's nothing to stop them from modifying the
  damn thing and LSM community being what it is, sooner or later some
  enterprising soul is going to decide that it's a good idea.

  Let's remove the temptation and constify all of those..."

* 'work.const-path' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  constify ima_d_path()
  constify security_sb_pivotroot()
  constify security_path_chroot()
  constify security_path_{link,rename}
  apparmor: remove useless checks for NULL ->mnt
  constify security_path_{mkdir,mknod,symlink}
  constify security_path_{unlink,rmdir}
  apparmor: constify common_perm_...()
  apparmor: constify aa_path_link()
  apparmor: new helper - common_path_perm()
  constify chmod_common/security_path_chmod
  constify security_sb_mount()
  constify chown_common/security_path_chown
  tomoyo: constify assorted struct path *
  apparmor_path_truncate(): path->mnt is never NULL
  constify vfs_truncate()
  constify security_path_truncate()
  [apparmor] constify struct path * in a bunch of helpers
