Summary
-------

There is a fairly common pattern making its way through the code base where we put a temporary object on the stack so we can call ao2_find() with OBJ_POINTER.  The purpose is so that it can be passed into the object hash function.  However, this really seems like a hack and potentially error prone.  This patch is a first stab at approach to avoid having to do that.

It adds a new flag, OBJ_CUSTOM, which can be used instead of OBJ_POINTER in these situations.  Then, the hash function can know whether it was given an object or some custom data to hash.

The patch also changes some uses of ao2_find() for iax2_user and iax2_peer objects to reflect how OBJ_CUSTOM would be used.

Testing
-------

It compiles.  I'm just throwing out the idea right now.  If people seem to think it makes sense, I will certainly try calls before committing anything.


Thanks,

Russell
