Bug 1411034 - Remove the const to fix the -Wignored-qualifiers warning

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/192248/#review197436

This seems fine, but I question the usefulness of this warning. It seems overly pedantic; the extra const isn't hurting anything and in a way improves readability.

I will forward this feedback. It should probably be enabled only in -Wextra
