Add a (void *) pointer to struct keyslot_manager that the owner of the
struct can use for any purpose it wants.
Right now, the struct keyslot_manager is expected to be embedded directly
into other structs (and the owner of the keyslot_manager would use
container_of() to access any other data the owner needs). However, this
might take up more space than is acceptable, and it would be better to be
able to add only a pointer to a struct keyslot_manager into other structs
rather than embed the entire struct directly. But container_of() can't be
used when only the pointer to the keyslot_manager is embded. The primary
motivation of this patch is to get around that issue.
