Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5] selftests/bpf: trace_helpers.c: optimize kallsyms cache

From: Rong Tao <rongtao@...tc.cn>

Static ksyms often have problems because the number of symbols exceeds the
MAX_SYMS limit. Like changing the MAX_SYMS from 300000 to 400000 in
commit e76a014334a6("selftests/bpf: Bump and validate MAX_SYMS") solves
the problem somewhat, but it's not the perfect way.

This commit uses dynamic memory allocation, which completely solves the
problem caused by the limitation of the number of kallsyms.

v5: Release the allocated memory once the load_kallsyms_refresh() upon error
    given it's dynamically allocated.
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/tencent_59C74613113F0C728524B2A82FE5540A5E09@qq.com/
    Make sure most cases we don't need the realloc() path to begin with,
    and check strdup() return value.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/tencent_50B4B2622FE7546A5FF9464310650C008509@qq.com/
    Do not use structs and judge ksyms__add_symbol function return value.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/tencent_B655EE5E5D463110D70CD2846AB3262EED09@qq.com/
    Do the usual len/capacity scheme here to amortize the cost of realloc, and
    don't free symbols.
