Geliang Tang f4a1b63ed5 selftests: mptcp: fix const qualifier warnings in strchr usage
In mptcp_connect.c, strchr() returns a pointer to a character within
the input string, which is declared as const char *. Assigning this
return value to a non-const char * discards the const qualifier,
triggering compiler warnings:

 make: Entering directory 'tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp'
   CC       mptcp_connect
 mptcp_connect.c: In function 'parse_cmsg_types':
 mptcp_connect.c:1267:22: warning: initialization discards 'const'
	qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  1267 |         char *next = strchr(type, ',');
       |                      ^~~~~~
 mptcp_connect.c: In function 'parse_setsock_options':
 mptcp_connect.c:1295:22: warning: initialization discards 'const'
	qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  1295 |         char *next = strchr(name, ',');
       |                      ^~~~~~
 make: Leaving directory 'tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp'

Fix these warnings by declaring the 'next' variable as const char *,
as it is only used for read-only parsing.
