Commit 5fbc220862fc ("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 da7a35062bcc ("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".
