xfs: constify xfs_name_dotdotxfs-fixes-5.18_2022-03-17
The symbol xfs_name_dotdot is a global variable that the xfs codebase uses here and there to look up directory dotdot entries. Currently it's a non-const variable, which means that it's a mutable global variable. So far nobody's abused this to cause problems, but let's use the compiler to enforce that.
