The non-builtin route for offsetof has a dependency on size_t from
stdlib.h/stdint.h that is undeclared and may break targets.
The offsetof macro in bpf_helpers may disable the same macro in other
headers that have a #ifdef offsetof guard. Rather than add additional
dependencies improve the offsetof macro declared here to use the
builtin if available.

Thanks. I didn't pay attention to __builtin_offsetof() and clearly
it is preferred. Ack the change with a nit below.

The __builtin_offsetof is actually available at least since llvm 3.7,
so it is safe to use it always.

  #define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER)  ((size_t)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
