v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20211007150339.28910-1-andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20211007095129.22037-1-andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u

The kernel.h is a set of something which is not related to each other
and often used in non-crossed compilation units, especially when drivers
need only one or two macro definitions from it.

Here is the split of container_of(). The goals are the following:
- untwist the dependency hell a bit
- drop kernel.h inclusion where it's only used for container_of()
- speed up C preprocessing.

The build speedup is
1.83% (ccache approach, see v2 cover letter for the details)
0.5% (kcbench approach, see v3 cover letter for the details)

In v4:
- dropped kobject.h change (Greg)
- Cc'ed more people (as per v1)

In v3:
- split patch 2 to more patches (Greg)
- excluded C changes (Herbert, Greg)
- measured with kcbench, see below (Greg)

Andy Shevchenko (7):
kernel.h: Drop unneeded <linux/kernel.h> inclusion from other headers
kernel.h: Split out container_of() and typeof_member() macros
kunit: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
list.h: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
llist: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
plist: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
media: entity: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
