[PATCH net-next] flow_offload: add const qualifiers to function arguments

[PATCH net-next] flow_offload: add const qualifiers to function arguments

[David Yang]

Some functions do not modify the pointed-to data, but lack const
qualifiers. Add const qualifiers to the arguments of
flow_rule_match_has_control_flags() and flow_cls_offload_flow_rule().
