    avoid probe rewriting of p->m in &(p->m) (#1831) · 24581968

    Fix issue #1830.
    
    After the rewrite, the code approximately becomes
      &({type _val; bpf_probe_read(&_val, sizeof(_val), &(p->m)); _val)
    
    Firstly the rewriting is really unnecessary, and secondly
    the compilation will fail since the addressOf cannot take address
    of the rvalue _val.
    
    C standard, however, allows the addressOf operand array subscript
    expression, e.g.,
      &({type _val; bpf_probe_read(&_val, sizeof(_val), &(p->m)); _val)[0]
    
    This patch intends to fix the problem by avoiding
    the rewriting in the first place of addrressOf simple member expression.
    It still permits addressOf the array subscript expression.
