Fix to compile on kernel 6.12.0-211

[kdevries]

Hi,

Thanks for you great work to make our beloved xbox controllers workable under Linux :)

Since update from kernel 6.12.0-124 to 6.12.0-211 I could not compile the driver anymore (I use secure boot so need to recompile after every kernel update)

in xpad.c, problem seems to be :
// backward compatibility. from_timer is renamed to timer_container_of since 6.16.0
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(6,16,0)
#define timer_container_of from_timer
#endif

But 6.12.0-211 kernel already has:

#define timer_container_of(...)

which is why I got:

warning: "timer_container_of" redefined

fix is to comment this out:
/*
#define timer_container_of from_timer
*/

Hello! I have been using the xpad module for years (thank you for providing it!), and this RHEL 9.8 conflict hit me fast and hard. I am not sure how to join in working on these tickets, but I would love to. In the meantime, here is the patch file I created for myself for the this issue if it helps. I hope we can some fix coded and merged for everyone very soon.
