[PATCH] livepatch: fix size mismatch

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Wed Jan 23 2019 - 05:35:58 EST


kzalloc(sizeof(int)) is called for an int object but then
passed into klp_shadow_alloc() using the size of the pointer.
This probably is not a problem as it will fit - but it should
be cleaned (after all this is reference code).
