container_of: apply typeof_member() to container_of()

Browse source

container_of() uses the construct below:

	((type *)0)->member

to retrieve the type of the structure's member and then ensure that it
matches the type of the given pointer.

This construct being rather difficult to understand, the typeof_member()
macro was created to encapsulate it and give it a descriptive name.

Apply typeof_member() to container_of() to make it easier to read and
understand what this macro does.
