jump_label: Sort entries of the same key by the code

In the batching mode, all the entries of a given key are updated at once.
During the update of a key, a hit in the int3 handler will check if the
hitting code address belongs to one of these keys.

To optimize the search of a given code in the vector of entries being
updated, a binary search is used. The binary search relies on the order
of the entries of a key by its code. Hence the keys need to be sorted
by the code too, so sort the entries of a given key by the code.
