(cherry-picked from commit 94ada59628dd6ce5d6d2dad1d35a68ad30127f53)

While recording BC_VARG `J->maxslot` isn't shrunk to the effective stack
Typo: s/shrunk/shrinking
top. This leads to dead value stored in the JIT slots and the following
Typo: s/value/values/
assertion failure for these slots check in `rec_check_slots()`. Note,
that `rec_varg()` modifies `maxslot` only under the condition that
`maxslot` should be increased, but the dead values are left for the
opposite case.

This patch removes the condition inside `rec_varg()` only for the case
when varargs are not defined on trace (`framedepth` is 0), but the
similar issue still occurs for the case when vararg are defined on the
Typo: s/vararg/varagrs/
trace.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem
