[PATCH 25/32] ns: add to_<type>_ns() to respective headers

[PATCH 25/32] ns: add to_<type>_ns() to respective headers
Posted by Christian Brauner 9 hours ago 
Every namespace type has a container_of(ns, <ns_type>, ns) static inline
function that is currently not exposed in the header. So we have a bunch
of places that open-code it via container_of(). Move it to the headers
so we can use it directly.
