modpost: Initialize builtin_modname to stop SIGSEGVs

Segmentation fault ./scripts/mod/modpost -o vmlinux.symvers vmlinux.o
stops the kernel build.  It comes when write_vmlinux_export_c_file()
tries to buf_printf alias->builtin_modname.  malloc'ed memory is not
necessarily zeroed.  NULL new->builtin_modname before adding to aliases.
