shallow.c: avoid theoretical pointer wrap-around

Browse source 
The expression info->free+size is technically undefined behaviour in
exactly the case we want to test for. Moreover, the compiler is likely
to translate the expression to

  (unsigned long)info->free + size > (unsigned long)info->end

where there's at least a theoretical chance that the LHS could wrap
around 0, giving a false negative.

This might as well be written using pointer subtraction avoiding these
issues.
