[xdp-hints] [PATCH RFC bpf-next 23/52] net, skbuff: constify the @skb argument of skb_hwtstamps()

[Alexander Lobakin <alexandr.lobakin@intel.com>]

The @skb argument only dereferences the &skb_shared_info pointer,
so it doesn't need a writable pointer. Constify it to be able to
pass const pointers to the code which uses this function and give
the compilers a little more room for optimization.
As an example, constify the @skb argument of tpacket_get_timestamp()
and __packet_set_timestamp() of the AF_PACKET core code. There are
lot more places in the kernel where the similar micro-opts can be
done in the future.
