Move definition of container_of() to common.h
AVR32 and AT91SAM9 both have their own identical definitions of
container_of() taken from the Linux kernel. Move it to common.h so
that all architectures can use it.
container_of() is already used by some drivers, and will be used
extensively by the new and improved SPI API.
