Subject: [RFC bpf-next v8 9/9] bpf: Optimize the performance of find_bpffs_btf_enums

From: pengdonglin <pengdonglin@...omi.com>

Currently, vmlinux BTF is unconditionally sorted during
the build phase. The function btf_find_by_name_kind
executes the binary search branch, so find_bpffs_btf_enums
can be optimized by using btf_find_by_name_kind.
