Description
When an allocation has failed and we call report_metadata_oome
we should be calling it with CHECK_NULL.
The current code just passes THREAD an a comment claims that the next line is unreachable.

I = M (incorrect error handling)
L = M (only happens on failed allocations)
W = M (avoid allocation failures)
