Here we want to not add metadata to load/store
instructions which originate from unsafe allocas
like discussed.

I wonder if there's an easier way to find this out than to follow
the pointer argument until a global or a function argument is found?
Maybe that can be done via a helper method which can be later augmented
with more "safe cases"?
