From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel.h: split out container_of() and typeof_member() macros
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt cleaning it up by splitting out container_of() and
typeof_member() macros.
For time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.
Note, there are _a lot_ of headers and modules that include kernel.h
solely for one of these macros and this allows to unburden compiler for
the twisted inclusion paths and to make new code cleaner in the future.
