Tamir Duberstein b20fbbc08a rust: check type of $ptr in container_of!
Add a compile-time check that `*$ptr` is of the type of `$type->$($f)*`.
Rename those placeholders for clarity.

Given the incorrect usage:

[ We decided to go with a variation of v1 [1] that became v4, since it
  seems like the obvious approach, the error messages seem good enough
  and the debug performance should be fine, given the kernel is always
  built with -O2.

  In the future, we may want to make the helper non-hidden, with
  proper documentation, for others to use.
