This patch resolves an issue where Clang could crash while parsing the `enable_if` attribute on C function declarators with identifier-list parameters.

In C, identifier-list function declarators use parameter identifiers rather than full parameter declarations, as specified by the C spec. Since `enable_if` is parsed early to participate in redeclaration checks

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/0f3a9f658a7f459b9aa701ec42a999b645653862/clang/lib/Parse/ParseDecl.cpp#L674-L675

the parser could encounter such identifiers before their parameter declarations exist and incorrectly assume they were already formed, leading to an assertion failure.

This change makes the early `enable_if` parsing path handle parameters that have not yet been declared, preventing the crash while preserving existing behavior for well-formed function prototypes.
