selftests/bpf: trace_helpers.c: Optimize kallsyms cache

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 e76a0143

("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()
    free_kallsyms_local()

There are used to solve the problem of selftests/bpf updating kallsyms
after attach new symbols during testmod testing.
