Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [LAA] Rewrite findForkedPointer (NFCI)

findForkedPointer is a mysteriously named function whose result is
assigned another mysteriously named variable, TranslatedPtrs. Throughly
rewrite logic surrounding this, replacing findForkedPointer with
getRTCheckPtrs, and simplifying createCheckForAccess.
