Subject: [PATCH 1/5] linux/kernel.h: Add sizeof_member macro
At present we have 3 different macros to calculate the size of a
member of a struct:
- SIZEOF_FIELD
- FIELD_SIZEOF
- sizeof_field
To bring uniformity in entire kernel source tree let's add
sizeof_member macro.
Replace all occurrences of above 3 macro's with sizeof_member in
future patches.
