Subject: [PATCH] USB: allow some usb functions to take a const pointer.

The functions to_usb_interface(), to_usb_device, and
interface_to_usbdev() sometimes would like to take a const * and return
a const * back.  As we are doing pointer math, a call to container_of()
loses the const-ness of a pointer, so use a _Generic() macro to pick the
proper inline function to call instead.
