tools: bpftool: fix a bitfield pretty print issue



Commit b12d6ec0 ("bpf: btf: add btf print functionality")
added btf pretty print functionality to bpftool.
There is a problem though in printing a bitfield whose type
has modifiers.

For example, for a type like
  typedef int ___int;
  struct tmp_t {
          int a:3;
          ___int b:3;
  };
Suppose we have a map
  struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") tmpmap = {
          .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
          .key_size = sizeof(__u32),
          .value_size = sizeof(struct tmp_t),
          .max_entries = 1,
  };
and the hash table is populated with one element with
key 0 and value (.a = 1 and .b = 2).

In BTF, the struct member "b" will have a type "typedef" which
points to an int type. The current implementation does not
pass the bit offset during transition from typedef to int type,
hence incorrectly print the value as
  $ bpftool m d id 79
  [{
          "key": 0,
          "value": {
              "a": 0x1,
              "b": 0x1
          }
      }
  ]

This patch fixed the issue by carrying bit_offset along the type
chain during bit_field print. The correct result can be printed as
  $ bpftool m d id 76
  [{
          "key": 0,
          "value": {
              "a": 0x1,
              "b": 0x2
          }
      }
  ]

The kernel pretty print is implemented correctly and does not
have this issue.
