selftests/bpf: trace_helpers.c: optimize kallsyms cache

From: Rong Tao <[email protected]>

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. At the same time, add APIs:

load_kallsyms_local()
ksym_search_local()
ksym_get_addr_local()
