ftrace: Use bsearch to find record ip
Now that each set of pages in the function list are sorted by ip, we can use bsearch to find a record within each set of pages. This speeds up the ftrace_location() function by magnitudes. For archs (like x86) that need to add a breakpoint at every function that will be converted from a nop to a callback and vice versa, the breakpoint callback needs to know if the breakpoint was for ftrace or not. It requires finding the breakpoint ip within the records. Doing a linear search is extremely inefficient. It is a must to be able to do a fast binary search to find these locations.
