shallow.c: avoid theoretical pointer wrap-around

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.
