Subject: [PATCH] wireless: Use offsetof instead of custom macro.

Use offsetof to calculate offset of a field to take advantage of
compiler built-in version when possible, and avoid UBSAN warning when
compiling with Clang:

==================================================================
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in net/wireless/wext-core.c:525:14
