To aggregate accesses to the same data type, add 'data_types' tree in
DSO to maintain data types and find it by name and size.
It might have different data types that happen to have the same name,
so it also compares the size of the type.
Even if it doesn't 100% guarantee, it reduces the possibility of
mis-handling of such conflicts.
And I don't think it's common to have different types with the same
name.
Committer notes:
Very few cases on the Linux kernel, but there are some different types
with the same name, unsure if there is a debug mode in libbpf dedup that
warns about such cases, but there are provisions in pahole for that,
see:
"emit: Notice type shadowing, i.e. multiple types with the same name (enum, struct, union, etc)"
