Subject: [PATCH 6/7] libbpf: Return const btf_var from btf_var inline function

From: Jiri Olsa <[email-masked]>

I'm getting following errors when compiling with -Wcast-qual:

  bpf/btf.h: In function ‘btf_var* btf_var(const btf_type*)’:
  bpf/btf.h:296:33: warning: cast from type ‘const btf_type*’ to type
  ‘btf_var*’ casts away qualifiers [-Wcast-qual]
    296 |  return (struct btf_var *)(t + 1);
        |                                 ^

The argument is const so the cast to following struct btf_var
pointer should be const as well.
