Description of problem:

When you build a program using bcc's automatic C types binding that contains a simple type such as "unsigned char[256]" a runtime error is triggered:

"""
Type: 'unsigned char[256]' not recognized. Please define the data with ctypes manually.

Exception ignored on calling ctypes callback function: <function RingBuf.open_ring_buffer.<locals>.ringbuf_cb_ at 0x7ff64df49940>
"""

I tracked the error to be a regression introduced in 0.24 by:

ca1d3fd0 bcc: Fix array type handling due to llvm changes

I also fixed the issue upstream with:

8f8e9a2c bcc: Fix multi-word array type handling (#4412)

However, we (OVS team) ship some BCC scripts for rhel-9 as part of openvswitch3.1-test package which are affected by this.
So this is a request to z-stream the fix to the relevant rhel-9 versions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

From 0.24 up to 0.26 both included.

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a BCC program with "unsigned char []" as a Ctype that is shared between ebpf and userspace, e.g: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/utilities/usdt-scripts/upcall_cost.py


Actual results:

An exception is thrown:
"""
Type: 'unsigned char[256]' not recognized. Please define the data with ctypes manually.

Exception ignored on calling ctypes callback function: <function RingBuf.open_ring_buffer.<locals>.ringbuf_cb_ at 0x7ff64df49940>
"""

Expected results:

No exception should be thrown.
