Just curious, what's the change in BTF size due to this?

Can you please check what we do for per-cpu variables with ELF
symbols? Perhaps we can unify approaches. I'd also favor using a sort
+ bsearch approach instead of rb_tree, given we don't really need to
dynamically add/delete elements, it's a one-time operation to iterate
and initialize everything. Also binary search of linear arrays would
be more memory-efficient and cache-efficient, most probably.
