I wrote this because I am not sure of all compiler behaviors.

Notice that the struct `struct z_erofs_vle_work_finder' has been all marked as const.

If I use `struct z_erofs_vle_workgroup *grp;' and drop the `const' decorator,
compilers could do some re-read operations bacause its value could potentially change by its caller at the same time.
