fixdep: use hash table instead of a single array
I noticed fixdep uses ~2% of cpu time in kernel build, in function
use_config()
fixdep spends a lot of cpu cycles in linear searches in its internal
string array. With about 400 stored strings per dep file, this begins to
be noticeable.
Convert fixdep to use a hash table.
