hi,
sending additional fix for symbol resolving in kprobe multi link
requested by Alexei and Andrii [1].

This speeds up bpftrace kprobe attachment, when using pure symbols
(3344 symbols) to attach:

Before:

  # perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* {  } i:ms:1 { exit(); }'
  ...
  6.5681 +- 0.0225 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.34% )

After:

  # perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* {  } i:ms:1 { exit(); }'
  ...
  0.5661 +- 0.0275 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  4.85% )

v3 changes:
  - renamed kallsyms_lookup_names to ftrace_lookup_symbols
    and moved it to ftrace.c [Masami]
  - added ack [Andrii]
  - couple small test fixes [Andrii]

v2 changes (first version [2]):
  - removed the 2 seconds check [Alexei]
  - moving/forcing symbols sorting out of kallsyms_lookup_names function [Alexei]
  - skipping one array allocation and copy_from_user [Andrii]
  - several small fixes [Masami,Andrii]
  - build fix [kernel test robot]

thanks,
jirka
