livepatch: Handle allocation failure in the sample of shadow variable API

Browse Source 
klp_shadow_alloc() is not handled in the sample of shadow variable API.
It is not strictly necessary because livepatch_fix1_dummy_free() is
able to handle the potential failure. But it is an example and it should
use the API a clean way.
