Subject[PATCH v1] fs: Constify path_is_under()'s arguments
Date
The function path_is_under() doesn't modify the paths pointed by its
arguments but only browse them. Constifying this pointers make a cleaner
interface to be used by (future) code which may only have access to
const struct path pointers (e.g. LSM hooks).
