Nested container_of() calls work correctly but cause a warning when
building with W=2. Invoking it from an inline function like in
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h means we get hundreds of warnings
like:
include/linux/kernel.h:852:8: warning: declaration of '__mptr' shadows a previous local [-Wshadow]
852 | void *__mptr = (void *)(ptr); \
| ^~~~~~

Rewrite the macro to use an inline function internally, which makes it
more readable and reduces the amount of useless output from make W=2.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
