Subject: [PATCH v3] rust: workqueue: remove HasWork::OFFSET

Implement `HasWork::work_container_of` in `impl_has_work!`, narrowing
the interface of `HasWork` and replacing pointer arithmetic with
`container_of!`. Remove the provided implementation of
`HasWork::get_work_offset` without replacement; an implementation is
already generated in `impl_has_work!`. Remove the `Self: Sized` bound on
`HasWork::work_container_of` which was apparently necessary to access
`OFFSET` as `OFFSET` no longer exists.

A similar API change was discussed on the hrtimer series[1].
