Don't directly cast list_head * to foo *, this works only when list
is the first member of struct foo, and we should not make the assumption
how members are ordered in the structure.

i.e. struct *f = (struct *f)pos will work if:
struct foo {
struct list_head list;
int i;
};

but will fail if:
struct foo {
int i;
struct list_head list;
}
