Since commit b20fbbc08a36 ("rust: check type of `$ptr` in `container_of!`") we have enforced that the field pointer passed to container_of! must match the declared field. This caused mismatches when using a pointer to bindings::x for fields of type Opaque<bindings::x>.This situation encourages the user to simply pass field.cast() to the container_of! macro, but this is not great because you might accidentally pass a *mut bindings::y when the field type is Opaque<bindings::x>, which would be wrong. To help catch this kind of mistake, add a new Opaque::cast_from that wraps a raw pointer in Opaque without changing the inner type. Also rename raw_get() to cast_into() for naming consistency.
