[for-next][PATCH 13/13] overflow: Introduce struct_offset() to get offset of member

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The trace_marker_raw file in tracefs takes a buffer from user space that
contains an id as well as a raw data string which is usually a binary
structure. The structure used has the following:

	struct raw_data_entry {
		struct trace_entry	ent;
		unsigned int		id;
		char			buf[];
	};

Since the passed in "cnt" variable is both the size of buf as well as the
size of id, the code to allocate the location on the ring buffer had:

   size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));

Which is quite ugly and hard to understand. Instead, add a helper macro
called struct_offset() which then changes the above to a simple and easy
to understand:

   size = struct_offset(entry, id) + cnt;

This will likely come in handy for other use cases too.
