kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt cleaning it up by splitting out container_of() and
typeof_member() macros.

For time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

Note, there are _a lot_ of headers and modules that include kernel.h solely
for one of these macros and this allows to unburden compiler for the twisted
inclusion paths and to make new code cleaner in the future.

Why did you touch kobject.h here?

It shouldn't have been needed to change for this commit.

Anyway, I really don't think this is all worth any more work at all, as
I'm not going to be the one taking it...

thanks,

Because it uses it, but indirectly. Now we may include it directly.

OK. I will split it to a separate change. Would it be okay?

It's fine. There are more people in favour of this change anyway.

Thanks for review!
