[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 23/28] modpost: fix null pointer dereference

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Max Kellermann <max.kellermann@ionos.com>

[ Upstream commit 23dfd914d2bfc4c9938b0084dffd7105de231d98 ]

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
