lkdtm/bugs: Check for the NULL pointer after calling kmalloc

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 4a9800c81d ]

As the possible failure of the kmalloc(), the not_checked and checked
could be NULL pointer.
Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to avoid the
dereference of the NULL pointer.
Also, we need to kfree the 'not_checked' and 'checked' to avoid
the memory leak if fails.
And since it is just a test, it may directly return without error
number.
