[PATCH v1 2/3] perf fncache: Switch to using hashmap

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Apr 10 2025 - 00:46:11 EST


The existing fncache can get large in testing situations. As the
bucket array is a fixed size this leads to it degrading to O(n)
performance. Use a regular hashmap that can dynamically reallocate its
array.

Before:
```
$ time perf test -v 10
10: PMU JSON event tests :
10.1: PMU event table sanity : Ok
10.2: PMU event map aliases : Ok
10.3: Parsing of PMU event table metrics : Ok
10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs : Ok
10.5: Parsing of metric thresholds with fake PMUs : Ok

real 0m17.887s
user 0m17.525s
sys 0m3.310s
```

After:
```
$ time perf test -v 10
10: PMU JSON event tests :
10.1: PMU event table sanity : Ok
10.2: PMU event map aliases : Ok
10.3: Parsing of PMU event table metrics : Ok
10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs : Ok
10.5: Parsing of metric thresholds with fake PMUs : Ok

real 0m15.551s
user 0m15.092s
sys 0m3.009s
```
