modpost: refactor find_fromsym() and find_tosym()
find_fromsym() and find_tosym() are similar - both of them iterate in the .symtab section and return the nearest symbol. The difference between them is that find_tosym() allows a negative distance, but the distance must be less than 20. Factor out the common part into find_nearest_sym().
