[XEN PATCH][for-4.19 v3] xen: address violations of Rule 11.9

[Nicola Vetrini <nicola.vetrini@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The constant 0 is used instead of NULL in '__ACCESS_ONCE' as a
compile-time check to detect non-scalar types; its usage for this
purpose is deviated.

Furthermore, the 'typeof_field' macro is introduced as a general way
to access the type of a struct member without declaring a variable
of struct type. Both this macro and 'sizeof_field' are moved to
'xen/macros.h'.

No functional change intended.

Changes in v2:
- added entry in deviations.rst
Changes in v3:
- dropped access_field
- moved macro to macros.h
