[PATCH 05/10] test-mergesort: use DEFINE_LIST_SORT

Build a typed sort function for the mergesort performance test tool using DEFINE_LIST_SORT instead of calling llist_mergesort(). This gets rid of the next pointer accessor functions and improves the performance at the cost of a slightly higher object text size.

Before: 0071.12: llist_mergesort() unsorted 0.24(0.22+0.01) 0071.14: llist_mergesort() sorted 0.12(0.10+0.01) 0071.16: llist_mergesort() reversed 0.12(0.10+0.01)

__TEXT __DATA __OBJC others dec hex 6407 276 0 24701 31384 7a98 t/helper/test-mergesort.o

With this patch: 0071.12: DEFINE_LIST_SORT unsorted 0.22(0.21+0.01) 0071.14: DEFINE_LIST_SORT sorted 0.11(0.10+0.01) 0071.16: DEFINE_LIST_SORT reversed 0.11(0.10+0.01)

__TEXT __DATA __OBJC others dec hex 6615 276 0 25832 32723 7fd3 t/helper/test-mergesort.o
