[PATCH] bpf: Allow small structs to be type of function argument

[Jiri Olsa]

This way we can have trampoline on function
that has arguments with types like:

  kuid_t uid
  kgid_t gid

which unwind into small structs like:

  typedef struct {
        uid_t val;
  } kuid_t;

  typedef struct {
        gid_t val;
  } kgid_t;

And we can use them in bpftrace like:
(assuming d_path changes are in)

  # bpftrace -e 'lsm:path_chown { printf("uid %d, gid %d\n", args->uid, 
args->gid) }'
  Attaching 1 probe...
  uid 0, gid 0
  uid 1000, gid 1000
  ...
