[PATCH] lsm: constify 'sb' parameter in security_quotactl()

[PATCH] lsm: constify 'sb' parameter in security_quotactl()

[Khadija Kamran]

SELinux registers the implementation for the "quotactl" hook. Looking at
the function implementation we observe that the parameter "sb" is not
changing.

Mark the "sb" parameter of LSM hook security_quotactl() as "const" since
it will not be changing in the LSM hook.

Looks good to me, merged into lsm/next.  Thanks!
