Subject: [PATCH] ibm_newemac: Fix dangerous struct assumption

The ibm_newemac driver includes code which assumes that the
work_struct which is included in every delayed_work is the first
member of that structure. This is currently the case but might change
in the future, so use to_delayed_work() instead, which doesn't make
such an assumption.
