commit 64f6a5d192 ("container_of: add container_of_const()
that preserves const-ness of the pointer") is nice. Let's use
it so that we don't accidentally cast away the const from our
state pointers.
The only thing I don't particularly like about container_of_const()
is that it still accepts void* in addition to the proper pointer
types, but that's how most other things in C work anyway so I
guess we can live with it.
And while at it rename the macro arguments to be a bit more
descriptive than just 'x'.
TODO: maybe convert *all* container_of() uses to container_of_const()?

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
