[PATCH 12/17] linux/container_of.h: Remove unnecessary cast to (void *)

[Alejandro Colomar]

Casts are dangerous.
Every pointer converts implicitly to (void *).
Remove the unnecessary cast.

Since this macro is used with some pointers-to-const,
removing the cast triggers warnings about that
(implicit conversion from poitner-to-const to pointer-to-void).

To solve it, since we don't use the pointer to modify its contents,
we can simply use a (const void *).
