sh: Optimise FDE/CIE lookup by using red-black trees
Now that the DWARF unwinder is being used to provide perf callstacks unwinding speed is an issue. It is no longer being used in exceptional circumstances where we don't care about runtime performance, e.g. when panicing, so it makes sense improve performance is possible. With this patch I saw a 42% improvement in unwind time when calling return_address(1). Greater improvements will be seen as the number of levels unwound increases as each unwind is now cheaper. Note that insertion time has doubled but that's just the price we pay for keeping the trees balanced. However, this is a one-time cost for kernel boot/module load and so the improvements in lookup time dominate the extra time we spend keeping the trees balanced.
