[PATCH v2 00/10] Enhance min heap API with non-inline functions and optimizations

Add non-inline versions of the min heap API functions in lib/min_heap.c
and updates all users outside of kernel/events/core.c to use these
non-inline versions. To mitigate the performance impact of indirect
function calls caused by the non-inline versions of the swap and
compare functions, a builtin swap has been introduced that swaps
elements based on their size. Additionally, it micro-optimizes the
efficiency of the min heap by pre-scaling the counter, following the
same approach as in lib/sort.c. Documentation for the min heap API has
also been added to the core-api section.

Regards,
Kuan-Wei

Changes in v2:
- Added a builtin swap to reduce the performance impact of indirect
  function calls.
- Cleaned up duplicate min_heap_callbacks in bcachefs.
- Wrapped documentation at 80 columns.
- Updated Example Usage.
- Included documentation explaining that NULL can be passed to the
  swp in min_heap_callbacks to use the builtin swap.
