Sakari Ailus 35cff7af75 container_of: Document container_of() is not to be used in new code
There is a warning in the kerneldoc documentation of container_of() that
constness of its ptr argument is lost. While this is a valid suggestion
container_of_const() should be used instead, the vast majority of new
code still uses container_of():

$ git diff v6.13 v6.14|grep container_of\(|wc -l
646
$ git diff v6.13 v6.14|grep container_of_const|wc -l
9

Make an explicit recommendation to use container_of_const().

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 reStructuredText 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.
