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() does not need to return the NULL pointer. It can return
the original symbol pointer if a better one is not found.
This fixes the reported segmentation fault.
Fixes: a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost: unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()")
