commit:67c0496e87d193b8356d2af49ab95e8a1b954b3c(kernfs: convert
kernfs_node->id from union kernfs_node_id to u64).

The bpf program compiles on the kernel version after this commit and
then tries to run on the kernel before this commit, libbpf will report
an error. The reverse is also same.

libbpf: prog 'tcp_retransmit_synack_tp': relo #4: kind <byte_off> (0),
spec is [342] struct kernfs_node.id (0:9 @ offset 104)
libbpf: prog 'tcp_retransmit_synack_tp': relo #4: non-matching candidate
libbpf: prog 'tcp_retransmit_synack_tp': relo #4: non-matching candidate
libbpf: prog 'tcp_retransmit_synack_tp': relo #4: no matching targets
found

The type before this commit:
	union kernfs_node_id	id;
	union kernfs_node_id {
		struct {
			u32		ino;
			u32		generation;
		};
		u64			id;
	};

The type after this commit:
	u64 id;

We can find that the variable name and size have not changed except for
the type change.
So I added some judgment to let any two INT/UNION are compatible, if
their names and sizes match.
