scripts: get_abi.pl: add a graph to speedup the undefined algorithm
Searching for symlinks is an expensive operation with the current
logic, as it is at the order of O(n^3). In practice, running the
check spends 2-3 minutes to check all symbols.
Fix it by storing the directory tree into a graph, and using
a Breadth First Search (BFS) to find the links for each sysfs node.
With such improvement, it can now report issues with ~11 seconds
on my machine.
It comes with a price, though: there are more symbols reported
as undefined after this change. I suspect it is due to some
sysfs circular loops that are dropped by BFS. Despite such
increase, it seems that the reports are now more coherent.
