A patch in net-next triggered a compile error on powerpc:

  include/linux/u64_stats_sync.h: In function 'u64_stats_read':
  include/asm-generic/local64.h:30:37: warning: passing argument 1 of 'local_read' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type

This seems reasonable to relax powerpc local_read() requirements.

Fixes: 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
