[PATCH v7 04/11] kallsyms: Add helper kallsyms_compress_symbol_name()

[Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com>]

To speed up the lookup of a symbol in the kernel, we'd better compress
the searched symbol first and then make a quick comparison based on the
compressed length and content. But the tokens in kallsyms_token_table[]
have been expanded, a more complex process is required to complete the
compression of a symbol. So generate kallsyms_best_token_table[] helps
us to compress a symbol in the kernel using a process similar to
compress_symbol(). The implementation of kallsyms_compress_symbol_name()
is almost the same as that of compress_symbols() in scripts/kallsyms.c.

Some minor changes have been made to reduce memory usage and improve
compression performance.
1. Some entries in best_table[] are single characters, and most of them
   are clustered together. such as a-z, A-Z, 0-9. These individual
   characters are not used in the process of compressing a symbol. Let
   kallsyms_best_token_table[i][0] = 0x00, [i][0] = number of consecutive
   single characters (for exampe, a-z is 26). When [i][0] = 0x00 is
   encountered, we can skip to the next token with two elements.
2. Now ARRAY_SIZE(kallsyms_best_token_table) is not fixed, we store
   the content of best_table[] to kallsyms_best_token_table[] in reverse
   order. That is, the higher the frequency, the lower the index.

The modifier '__maybe_unused' of kallsyms_compress_symbol_name() is
temporary and will be removed in the next patch.
