sparse, llvm: Add support for union types
This patch adds support for SYM_UNION in symbol_type(). The LLVM API does not provide support for unions so we treat them as opaque structs. Cc: Christopher Li <sparse@chrisli.org> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
