"struct ocfs2_stack_operations" are not modified in this driver.
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.
In order to do it, "struct ocfs2_stack_plugin" also needs to be adjusted
to this new const qualifier.
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:
