At this point all subprograms are still part of the main program.
jit_subprogs() hasn't been called yet.
So there is only one 'prog' object.
So cannot really set prog->sleepable for callback subprog.

But you've raised a good point.
We can remove "!in_sleepable(env)" part in do_misc_fixups() with:
-                if (in_sleepable(env) && is_storage_get_function(func_id))
-
env->insn_aux_data[insn_idx].storage_get_func_atomic = true;

+ if (is_storage_get_function(func_id))
+   env->insn_aux_data[insn_idx].storage_get_func_atomic = !in_sleepable(env);
