check_reg_arg() may fail and not mark correct data in "env". This fix inserts a check that ensures check_reg_arg() is successful, and if it is not, the fix stops further operations and returns an error upstream.

it cannot fail here. we have the same pattern in few other places where we know it cannot fail. I prefer to leave the code as-is.
