e1edc277e6 linux/container_of.h: switch to static_assert
_Static_assert() is evaluated already in the compiler's frontend, and
gives a somehat more to-the-point error, compared to the BUILD_BUG_ON
macro, which only fires after the optimizer has had a chance to
eliminate calls to functions marked with __attribute__((error)).  In
theory, this might make builds a tiny bit faster.

There's also a little less gunk in the error message emitted:

  lib/sort.c: In function `foo':
  include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "pointer type mismatch in container_of()"
     78 | #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, msg)

compared to

  lib/sort.c: In function `foo':
  include/linux/compiler_types.h:322:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_2' declared with attribute error: pointer type mismatch in container_of()
    322 |  _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__)

While at it, fix the copy-pasto in container_of_safe().

d2a8ebbf81 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.
