kobject: Introduce kset_find_obj_hinted.
One call chain getting to kset_find_obj is:
link_mem_sections()
find_mem_section()
kset_find_obj()
This is done during boot. The memory sections were added in a linearly
increasing order and link_mem_sections tends to utilize them in that
same linear order.
Introduce a kset_find_obj_hinted which is passed the result of the
previous kset_find_obj which it uses for a quick "is the next object
our desired object" check before falling back to the old behavior.
