Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: r8188eu: replace rtw_netdev_priv define with inline function

The function guarantees type checking of arguments and return value.

Result of rtw_netdev_priv macro can be assigned to pointer
with incompatible type without warning. The function allow compiler
to perform this check.

Signed-off-by: Ivan Safonov <insafonov@...il.com>

Changes in v2:
  - add blank line after function definition;
  - improve commit message.

Changes in v3:
  - use proper argument name;
  - remove unnecessary parentheses.
