modpost: fix null pointer dereference
If the find_fromsym() call fails and returns NULL, the warn() call
will dereference this NULL pointer and cause the program to crash.
This happened when I tried to build with "test_user_copy" module.
With this fix, it prints lots of warnings like this:
WARNING: modpost: lib/test_user_copy: section mismatch in reference: (unknown)+0x4 (section: .text.fixup) -> (unknown) (section: .init.text)
masahiroy@kernel.org:
The issue is reproduced with ARCH=arm allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y +
CONFIG_RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU=y + CONFIG_TEST_USER_COPY=m
