We can't dereference the variant object directly, as it might be
a magic object (which has an address on a faulting page); use
json_variant_is_sensitive() instead that handles this case.
For example, with an empty array:
==1547789==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x000000000023 (pc 0x7fd616ca9a18 bp 0x7ffcba1dc7c0 sp 0x7ffcba1dc6d0 T0)
==1547789==The signal is caused by a READ memory access.
==1547789==Hint: address points to the zero page.
