[ Upstream commit 25a4481b4136af7794e1df2d6c90ed2f354d60ce ]
btf__align_of() is supposed to be return alignment requirement of a requested BTF type. For STRUCT/UNION it doesn't always return correct value, because it calculates alignment only based on field types. But for packed structs this is not enough, we need to also check field offsets and struct size. If field offset isn't aligned according to field type's natural alignment, then struct must be packed. Similarly, if struct size is not a multiple of struct's natural alignment, then struct must be packed as well.
This patch fixes this issue precisely by additionally checking these conditions.
