net: Add comment that early_demux can change via sysctl
Twice patches trying to constify inet{6}_protocol have been reverted: 39294c3df2a8 ("Revert "ipv6: constify inet6_protocol structures"") to revert 3a3a4e3054137 and then 03157937fe0b5 ("Revert "ipv4: make net_protocol const"") to revert aa8db499ea67. Add a comment that the structures can not be const because the early_demux field can change based on a sysctl. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
