In some cases, it was able to find a type or location info (for per-cpu variable) but cannot match because of invalid offset or missing global information. In those cases, it's meaningless to go to the outer scope and retry because there will be no additional information. Let's change the return type of find_matching_type() and bail out if it returns -1 for the cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
