libbpf: Make bpf_map order and indices stable
Currently, libbpf re-sorts bpf_map structs after all the maps are added and
initialized, which might change their relative order and invalidate any
bpf_map pointer or index taken before that. This is inconvenient and
error-prone. For instance, it can cause .kconfig map index to point to a wrong
map.
Furthermore, libbpf itself doesn't rely on any specific ordering of bpf_maps,
so it's just an unnecessary complication right now. This patch drops sorting
of maps and makes their relative positions fixed. If efficient index is ever
needed, it's better to have a separate array of pointers as a search index,
instead of reordering bpf_map struct in-place. This will be less error-prone
and will allow multiple independent orderings, if necessary (e.g., either by
section index or by name).
