libbpf: Do not use __builtin_offsetof for offsetof
Commit 5fbc220 ("tools/libpf: Add offsetof/container_of macro in bpf_helpers.h") added a macro offsetof() to get the offset of a structure member: #define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER) In certain use cases, size_t type may not be available so Commit da7a350 ("libbpf bpf_helpers: Use __builtin_offsetof for offsetof") changed to use __builtin_offsetof which removed the dependency on type size_t, which I suggested. But using __builtin_offsetof will prevent CO-RE relocation generation in case that, e.g., TYPE is annotated with "preserve_access_info" where a relocation is desirable in case the member offset is changed in a different kernel version. So this patch reverted back to the original macro but using "unsigned long" instead of "site_t".
