So that you can actually pass in a const struct task_struct * without having
to cast it back to [non-const].

Why one would have a const struct task_struct * in the first place
is a different matter.

But see http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=77adbfbf4cf96fedf9b75bb330704828c187b190
