[PATCH 4/9] kallsyms: do not call qsort() with a NULL table

[lzhan011]

From: lzhan011 <zhangleizhen645@xxxxxxxxx>

link-vmlinux.sh runs kallsyms on an empty input for the first link, in
which case table is NULL and table_cnt is 0. Passing NULL to qsort() is
undefined behaviour even for zero elements, and UBSan reports:

  scripts/kallsyms.c: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1,
  which is declared to never be null

Skip the sort when there are no symbols.

Fixes: c442db3f49f2 ("kbuild: remove PROVIDE() for kallsyms symbols")
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5 UBSan
