The non-inline min heap API can result in an indirect function call to the custom swap function. This becomes particularly costly when CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE is enabled, as indirect function calls are expensive in this case. To address this, copy the code from lib/sort.c and provide a default builtin swap implementation that performs element swaps based on the element size. This change allows most users to avoid the overhead of indirect function calls, improving efficiency.
