Add proper error handling when allocating or getting shadow variables in the selftest. It prevents an invalid pointer access in some situations. It shows the good programming practice in the others. The error codes are just the best guess and specific for this particular test. In general, klp_shadow_alloc() returns NULL also when the given shadow variable has already been allocated. In addition, both klp_shadow_alloc() and klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() might fail from other reasons when the constructor fails. Note, that the error code is not really important even in the real life. The use of shadow variables should be transparent for the original livepatched code.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
