c8e424c introduced hashmap_free_entries, which can free any struct
pointer, regardless of the hashmap_entry field offset.

oidmap does not make use of this flexibilty, hardcoding the offset to
zero instead. Let's fix this by passing struct type and member to
hashmap_free_entries.

Additionally, removes an erroneous semi-colon at the end of
hashmap_free_entries macro.

    c8e424c9 (hashmap: introduce hashmap_free_entries, 2019-10-06)
    introduced hashmap_free_entries(), which ...

is how we refer to existing commits and functions.

Makes sense.

Good eyes.  Of course, your if/else would have broken without this
fix ;-)

Looking good.  Thanks.

I'm not sure how much this improves anything.

We're now telling the hashmap code how to get to our "struct
oidmap_entry" pointer by using the correct offset there. But we know
that offset will always be 0, because we put our internal hashmap entry
at the start of oidmap_entry.

What you can't do is:

  struct foo {
    int first_member;
    struct oidmap_entry not_the_first_member;
  };

and work directly with "struct foo" pointers. You have to convert
oidmap_entry pointers into foo pointers with container_of() or similar.
And that is true both before and after your patch.

That said, I don't mind doing this as a cleanup; there's a subtle
dependency on the location of internal_entry within object_entry,
and this would move towards getting rid of it.
