commit 1d20a16062e771b6e26b843c0cde3b17c1146e00 upstream.

drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/selftest.c: In function ‘efx_iterate_state’:
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/selftest.c:388:9: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘memcpy’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers]

This is because the msg[] member of struct efx_loopback_payload is marked as 'const'. Remove that.
