[PATCH v2] insert-sys-cert: fix use of uninitialized pointer with an empty System.map

[PATCH v2] insert-sys-cert: fix use of uninitialized pointer with an empty System.map

[Leizhen Zhang]

get_symbol_from_map() only assigns n inside the loop that reads the
System.map file. If the file is empty, the loop body never runs and n is
then tested while uninitialized, as reported by MemorySanitizer.

Initialize n to NULL.
