[PATCH] patch-ids: achieve const correctness in patch_id_neq()

[Tian Yuchen <a3205153416@gmail.com>]

The implementation of the 'contain_of' macro in 'patch_id_neq()' is:

	#define container_of(ptr, type, member) \
		((type *) ((char *)(ptr) - offsetof(type, member)))

Here, 'type' is passed as a raw type with no const information.
Consequently, const correctness cannot be guaranteed here, resulting
in an eight-year-long NEEDSWORK comment.

Use explicit casting (struct object_id *) to ensure const correctness.
