[PATCH 1/2] Revert "ipv6: constify inet6_protocol structures"

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Tue Aug 01 2017 - 12:54:26 EST


This reverts commit 3a3a4e3054137c5ff5d4d306ec834f6d25d7f95b.

inet6_add_protocol and inet6_del_protocol include casts that remove the
effect of the const annotation on their parameter, leading to possible
runtime crashes.
