Jiri Olsa 1c6d28a6ac bpf: Factor btf_struct_access function
Adding btf_struct_walk function that walks through the
struct type + given offset and returns following values:

  enum bpf_struct_walk_result {
       /* < 0 error */
       WALK_SCALAR = 0,
       WALK_PTR,
       WALK_STRUCT,
  };

WALK_SCALAR - when SCALAR_VALUE is found
WALK_PTR    - when pointer value is found, its ID is stored
              in 'next_btf_id' output param
WALK_STRUCT - when nested struct object is found, its ID is stored
              in 'next_btf_id' output param

It will be used in following patches to get all nested
struct objects for given type and offset.

The btf_struct_access now calls btf_struct_walk function,
as long as it gets nested structs as return value.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
