Const fields here:

mm/hugetlb.c: In function ‘hugetlb_handle_userfault’:
mm/hugetlb.c:5961:17: error: assignment of member ‘vma’ in read-only object
5961 | vmf.vma = vma;
| ^
mm/hugetlb.c:5962:21: error: assignment of member ‘address’ in read-only object
5962 | vmf.address = haddr;
| ^
mm/hugetlb.c:5963:26: error: assignment of member ‘real_address’ in read-only object
5963 | vmf.real_address = addr;

PS: I think we can drop this along the way.
