[PATCH] objtool: prevent memory leak in error paths

[Muhammad Usama Anjum <musamaanjum@gmail.com>]

Memory allocated by sym and sym->name isn't being freed if some error
occurs in elf_create_undef_symbol(). Free the sym and sym->name if error
is detected before returning NULL.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Prevent memory leak")
Fixes: 2f2f7e47f052 ("objtool: Add elf_create_undef_symbol()")
