modpost: add sym_find_with_module() helper
find_symbol() returns the first symbol found in the hash table. This table is global, so it may return a symbol from an unexpected module. There is a case where we want to search for a symbol with a given name in a specified module. Add sym_find_with_module(), which receives the module pointer as the second argument. It is equivalent to find_module() if NULL is passed as the module pointer.
