Subject: libbpf: Complete field-based CO-RE helpers with field offset helper
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc1
Git-commit: 7715f549a9d80a82428a7925fa4a00518c53c35c
References: jsc#PED-1377
Add bpf_core_field_offset() helper to complete field-based CO-RE
helpers. This helper can be useful for feature-detection and for some
more advanced cases of field reading (e.g., reading flexible array members).
