micrel: ksz8851: fixes struct pointer issue
Issue found during code review. This bug has no impact as long as the ks8851_net structure is the first element of the ks8851_net_spi structure. As long as the offset to the ks8851_net struct is zero, the container_of() macro is subtracting 0 and therefore no damage done. But if the ks8851_net_spi struct is ever modified such that the ks8851_net struct within it is no longer the first element of the struct, then the bug would manifest itself and cause problems. struct ks8851_net is contained within ks8851_net_spi. ks is contained within kss. kss is the priv_data of the netdev structure.
