when given a pointer to a field in that struct.

/// Produces a pointer to an object from a pointer to one of its fields.

/// # Safety
///
/// The pointer passed to this macro, and the pointer returned by this macro, must both be in
/// bounds of the same allocation.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// # use kernel::container_of;
/// struct Test {
/// a: u64,
/// b: u32,
/// }
///
/// let test = Test { a: 10, b: 20 };
/// let b_ptr = &test.b;
/// // SAFETY: The pointer points at the `b` field of a `Test`, so the resulting pointer will be
/// // in-bounds of the same allocation as `b_ptr`.
/// let test_alias = unsafe { container_of!(b_ptr, Test, b) };
/// assert!(core::ptr::eq(&test, test_alias));
/// ```
