For improved const-correctness.
We select certain test functions which either invoke each other,
functions that are already const-ified, or no further functions.
It is therefore relatively trivial to const-ify them, which
provides a basis for further const-ification further up the call
stack.
(Even though seemingly unrelated, this also constifies the pointer
parameter of mmap_is_legacy() in arch/s390/mm/mmap.c because a copy of
the function exists in mm/util.c.)
