Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Implement .permission() in ocfs2_file_iops, ocfs2_special_file_iops and
ocfs2_dir_iops.
This helps us avoid some multi-node races with mode change and vfs
operations.

This is mostly a search and replace as ocfs2_journal_handle is now no more
than a container for a handle_t pointer.
ocfs2_commit_trans() becomes very straight forward, and we remove some out
of date comments / code.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)
