llist: clang: introduce member_address_is_nonnull()

Browse Source 
Currently llist_for_each_entry() and llist_for_each_entry_safe() iterate
until &pos->member != NULL.  But when building the kernel with Clang,
the compiler assumes &pos->member cannot be NULL if the member's offset
is greater than 0 (which would be equivalent to the object being
non-contiguous in memory).  Therefore the loop condition is always true,
and the loops become infinite.

To work around this, introduce the member_address_is_nonnull() macro,
which casts object pointer to uintptr_t, thus letting the member pointer
to be NULL.
