Subject: [PATCH 01/17] linux/container_of.h: Add memberof(T, m)

Many xxxof_member() macros make use of the same construction
to refer to a member of a struct
without needing a variable of the struct type.

memberof(T, m)
simplifies all of those,
avoids possible mistakes in repetition,
adds a meaningful name to the construction,
and improves readability by avoiding too many parentheses together.
