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.
