tls_build_proto() uses WRITE_ONCE() to assign a 'const' pointer to a
'non-const' pointer. Cleanups to the implementation of WRITE_ONCE() mean
that this will give rise to a compiler warning, just like a plain old
assignment would do:

  | net/tls/tls_main.c: In function ‘tls_build_proto’:
  | ./include/linux/compiler.h:229:30: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  | net/tls/tls_main.c:640:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘smp_store_release’
  |   640 |    smp_store_release(&saved_tcpv6_prot, prot);
  |       |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drop the const qualifier from the local 'prot' variable, as it isn't
needed.
