objtool: Return canonical symbol when aliases exist in symbol finding helpers
When symbol alias ambiguity exists in the symbol finding helper functions, return the canonical sym->alias, as that's the one which gets used by validate_branch() and elsewhere. This doesn't fix any known issues, just makes the symbol alias behavior more robust.
