closures: CLOSURE_CALLBACK() to fix type punning
Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a workqueue fn by the underlying closure code. So we have to change closure fns to take a work_struct as their argument - but that results in a loss of clarity, as closure fns have different semantics from normal workqueue functions (they run owning a ref on the closure, which must be released with continue_at() or closure_return()). Thus, this patc introduces CLOSURE_CALLBACK() and closure_type() macros as suggested by Kees, to smooth things over a bit.
