Fix example plugin bug

[t-kusanagi]

Example plugin is called from here (https://github.com/cruise-automation/k-rail/blob/master/plugins/grpc.go#L104-L119) and attributes of the returned value are used, but voiolation.Error is nil so violation.Error.Error() is nil reference.

After making webhook and send request by kubectl apply -f pod.yaml, the above bug causes following error
