Subject: [RFC PATCH] bpf: Using binary search to improve the performance of btf_find_by_name_kind

Currently, we are only using the linear search method to find the type id
by the name, which has a time complexity of O(n). This change involves
sorting the names of btf types in ascending order and using binary search,
which has a time complexity of O(log(n)). This idea was inspired by the
following patch:

60443c88f3a8 ("kallsyms: Improve the performance of kallsyms_lookup_name()").

At present, this improvement is only for searching in vmlinux's and
module's BTFs, and the kind should only be BTF_KIND_FUNC or BTF_KIND_STRUCT.

Another change is the search direction, where we search the BTF first and
then its base, the type id of the first matched btf_type will be returned.

Here is a time-consuming result that finding all the type ids of 67,819 kernel
functions in vmlinux's BTF by their names:

Before: 17000 ms
After: 10 ms

The average lookup performance has improved about 1700x at the above scenario.

However, this change will consume more memory, for example, 67,819 kernel
functions will allocate about 530KB memory.
