A few small things below, but

could use for_each_member() here I think, or perhaps use
btf_type_member(type) when getting member pointer above.

You'll need to skip modifiers before calling btf_find_struct_member()
here I think; it's possible to have a const anonymous union for example,
so to get to the union you'd need to skip the modifiers first. Otherwise
you could fail the btf_type_is_struct() test on re-entry.
