[PATCH] dissect: enforce toplevel() if SYM_STRUCT was not defined

[PATCH] dissect: enforce toplevel() if SYM_STRUCT was not defined

[Oleg Nesterov]

A separate change for documentation purposes.

Test-case:

	void func(void)
	{
		struct UNDEFINED x;
		x.member = 0;
	}

output:

   1:6                    def   f func                             void ( ... )
   3:26  func             def . v x                                struct UNDEFINED
   4:9   func             -w- . v x                                struct UNDEFINED
   4:10  func             -w- . m UNDEFINED.member                 bad type

but in this case is_sym_local(UNDEFINED) = F makes more sense, most
probably this struct was defined somewhere else but __sparse() didn't
see its definition.

Change lookup_member() to set type->scope = file_scope if !symbol_list.
This is not 100% correct, but struct_union_enum_specifier() does the
same check with the following comment:

	// The following test is actually wrong for empty
	// structs, but (1) they are not C99, (2) gcc does
	// the same thing, and (3) it's easier.
