Subject: [PATCH 3.12 095/127] drivers/vfio: Rework offsetofend()

From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit b13460b92093b29347e99d6c3242e350052b62cd upstream.

The macro offsetofend() introduces unnecessary temporary variable
"tmp". The patch avoids that and saves a bit memory in stack.
