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.
