Convert rtas_token() to use a lockless binary search on the function

are not known to be RTAS functions, but issue a warning. rtas_token()
is for function names; it is not a general facility for accessing
arbitrary properties of the /rtas node. All known misuses of
rtas_token() have been converted to more appropriate of_ APIs in
preceding changes.
For in-kernel users, why not go all the way: make rtas_token() static
and use it purely for the userspace API, and switch kernel users over
to using rtas_function_index directly?

This seems to be new, what's the justification?
