I realized that we are going a wrong direction here. Entirely skipping mem*() operation on any
poisoned shadow value might only make things worse. Some bugs just don't have any serious consequences,
but skipping the mem*() ops entirely might introduce such consequences, which wouldn't happen otherwise.

So let's keep this code as this, no need to check the result of check_memory_region().
