Fixes issue dynup#494. A null pointer dereference can result with patch modules for multiple objects since the "vmlinux" patch object's "name" field is null. strcmp therefore crashes trying to compare object->name if the current object is vmlinux and the supplied "name" argument is not. Check that object->name is not null before invoking strcmp.
