linux/container_of.h: Warn about loss of constness

Browse source 
container_of() casts the original type to another which leads to the loss
of the const qualifier if it is not specified in the caller-provided type.
This easily leads to container_of() returning a non-const pointer to a
const struct which the C compiler does not warn about.
