lib/scatterlist: mark input buffer parameters as 'const'
The 'buf' parameter of sg(p)copy_from_buffer() can and should be const-qualified, although because of the shared implementation of _to_buffer() and _from_buffer(), we have to cast this away internally. This means that callers who have a 'const' buffer containing the data to be copied to the sg-list no longer have to cast away the const-ness themselves. It also enables improved coverage by code analysis tools. Signed-off-by: Dave Gordon <david.s.gordon@intel.com> Cc: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Cc: "Martin K.
