Clang 3.4 will sometimes emit DIE for struct/union member before

Browse Source 
emitting the DIE for the type of that member. ctfconvert can not
handle this properly and will calculate a wrong member bit offset.
Same struct/union type from different .o file will be treated as
different types when their member bit offsets are different, and
gets added/merged multiple times. This will in turn cause many other
structs/pointers/typedefs that refer to the duplicated struct/union
gets added/merged multiple times and eventually causes numerous
duplicated CTF types in the kernel.debug file.

The simple workaround here is to make use of DW_AT_byte_size attribute
of the member DIE to calculate the bits occupied by the member's type,
without actually resolving the type.
