From: Anton Blanchard <an...@samba.org>
This re-applies b91c1e3e7a6f which was reverted in f2ca80905929
d466f6c5cac1 f84ed59a612d (powerpc/sparse: Constify the address pointer
...").
We see a large number of duplicate const errors in the user access
code when building with llvm/clang:
include/linux/pagemap.h:576:8: warning: duplicate 'const' declaration
specifier
[-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
ret = __get_user(c, uaddr);
The problem is we are doing const __typeof__(*(ptr)), which will hit the
warning if ptr is marked const.
Removing const does not seem to have any effect on GCC code generation.

If we don't want to apply this, other options are suppressing the
warning, or wait for a fix to land in clang
(https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/52).
