Currently, functions with 'union' arguments cannot be traced with
fentry/fexit:
bpftrace -e 'fentry:release_pages { exit(); }' -v

ERROR: Error loading BPF program for fentry_vmlinux_release_pages_1.
Kernel error log:
The function release_pages arg0 type UNION is unsupported.

ERROR: Loading BPF object(s) failed.
The type of the 'release_pages' argument is defined as:
typedef union {
struct page **pages;
struct folio **folios;
struct encoded_page **encoded_pages;
} release_pages_arg __attribute__ ((__transparent_union__));
This patch relaxes the restriction by allowing function arguments of type
'union' to be traced.
