__kunmap_ {local,atomic}() currently take pointers to void. However, this is semantically incorrect, since these functions do not change the memory their arguments point to. Therefore, make this semantics explicit by modifying the __kunmap_{local,atomic}() prototypes to take pointers to const void. As a side effect, compilers will likely produce more efficient code.

De Francesco <fmdefrancesco@gmail.com> --- v3->v4: Cc Maintainers and lists which had been overlooked when sending v3. v2->v3: Fix compilation errors for ARCH=parisc. Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> v1->v2: Change the commit message to clearly explain why these functions should require pointers to const void. The fundamental argument behind the commit message changes is semantic correctness. Obviously, there are no changes to the code.
