[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.5 020/121] libbpf: Ignore incompatible types with matching name during CO-RE relocation

[Sasha Levin]

From: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d121e1d34b72c4975ff0340901d926c0aaf98174 ]

When finding target type candidates, ignore forward declarations, functions,
and other named types of incompatible kind. Not doing this can cause false
errors.  See [0] for one such case (due to struct pt_regs forward
declaration).
