[ Upstream commit 1102f9f85bf66b1a7bd6a40afb40efbbe05dfc05 ]
As mentioned in commit 397586506c3d ("modpost: Add '.ltext' and '.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS"), modpost can result in a segmentation fault due to a NULL pointer dereference in default_mismatch_handler().
find_tosym() can return the original symbol pointer instead of NULL if a better one is not found.
This fixes the reported segmentation fault.
