    Revert "hostfs: Add const qualifier to host_root in hostfs_fill_super()"
    
    This reverts commit 1fbe93dd7e6a0dab59a5fce99f16703f7d52ed81 which is
    commit 104eef133fd9c17e4dc28bf43f592a86f26d8a59 upstream.
    
    It is reported to cause build issues and odds are the root problem isn't
    really an issue on the 6.6.y branch anyway.  If it is, someone can
    provide a working set of backported patches.
