@GoeLin: Having the `is_readable_pointer` checks is a good thing. This PR only looks large because of harmless refactoring. The modification is already shipped for some platforms with [JDK-8294160](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8294160) in 21 GA and 17.0.7.
On the other hand, I'm not aware of too many "error occurred during error reporting" issues on the missing platforms, so I can live with shipping it with 21.0.7. I leave the 21u lead maintainers free to decide.
