Clang static analysis reports this issue
livepatch-shadow-fix1.c:113:2: warning: Use of
  memory after it is freed
  pr_info("%s: dummy @ %p, prevented leak @ %p\n",
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pointer is freed in the previous statement.
Reorder the pr_info to report before the free.
