Subject: perf symbol: Fix uninitialized return value in
 symbols__find_by_name()
Git-commit: 78a175c4623f66722709494295a0f6754b46f858
Patch-mainline: v6.5-rc1
References: perf-v6.7 (jsc#PED-6012 jsc#PED-6121)

found_idx and s aren't initialized, so if no symbol is found then the
assert at the end will index off the end of the array causing a
segfault. The function also doesn't return NULL when the symbol isn't
found even if the assert passes. Fix it by initializing the values and
only setting them when something is found.

Fixes the following test failure:

  $ perf test 1
  1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms     : FAILED!

Fixes: 259dce914e93 ("perf symbol: Remove symbol_name_rb_node")
