[PATCH v3 2/3] tracing/probes: Fix BTF kflag check for anonymous struct member access

["Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

btf_find_struct_member() traverses into nested anonymous structures and
unions to find a struct member. However, get_bitoffset_of_field() in
trace_probe.c checked btf_type_kflag(type) using the outer parent type
instead of the actual anonymous structure/union that directly contains
the found member.

If the parent structure and anonymous structure have mismatched kflags
(e.g., the parent has kflag=0 while the anonymous structure has kflag=1
because it contains bitfields), the bitfield size encoded in the upper
8 bits of member->offset is erroneously treated as part of the byte/bit
offset, corrupting the resolved offset and failing to set last_bitsize.
Similarly, btf_find_struct_member() pushed anonymous member offsets
onto anon_stack without masking BTF_MEMBER_BIT_OFFSET() when kflag is set.

To fix this problem, update btf_find_struct_member() to return actual
containing structure/union type via member_type, use appropriate
__btf_member_bit_offset() to get bit offset, and use member_type for
btf_type_kflag() in get_bitoffset_of_field().

 Changes in v3:
  - Remove indent cleanup part since that is a cleanup and no need
    to be backported.
 Changes in v2:
  - remove unneeded NULL initializer for mtype, it should be set if
    btf_find_struct_member() succeeds.
  - Add reported-by from Sashiko.
 This is separated from wprobe patch series v14.
