[PATCH] uml: add locking to network transport registration
The registration of host network transports needed some locking. The transport list itself is locked, but calls to the registration routines are not. This is compensated for by checking that a transport structure is not yet on any list. I also took the opportunity to const all fields in the transport structure except the list, which obviously can be modified.
