Subject: [PATCH 5.4 16/90] wireless: Use offsetof instead of custom macro.

From: Pi-Hsun Shih <pihsun@...omium.org>

commit 6989310f5d4327e8595664954edd40a7f99ddd0d upstream.

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
