Removed again. I did not notice first that this is part of a larger
series, please also CC the [PATCH 0/N] patch.

There's a warning:

fs/btrfs/super.c: In function ‘btrfs_fill_super’:
fs/btrfs/super.c:1107:21: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
1107 | sb->s_xattr = btrfs_xattr_handlers;
| ^

but the patch changing the type is present in the series.

Please update the changelog of btrfs patch with:

Add const specifier also to the pointed array members of
btrfs_xattr_handlers. This moves the whole structure to the .rodata
section which makes it harder for accidental or malicious changes to
btrfs_xattr_handlers at runtime.

or use it for others patches too.
