[PATCH v2 10/20] linux/container_of.h: Remove unnecessary cast

[Alejandro Colomar]

Casts are dangerous.
Moreover, (almost) everything converts to 'void *' implicitly,
with the exception of pointers to const.

Change the temporary to be const,
and therefore allow implicit conversion from everything.
Since we don't modify it,
this also adds safety.
