https://github.com/kazutakahirata created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/228673

Note that PointerUnion::dyn_cast has been soft deprecated in
PointerUnion.h:

    // FIXME: Replace the uses of is(), get() and dyn_cast() with
    //        isa<T>, cast<T> and the llvm::dyn_cast<T>

Literal migration would result in dyn_cast_if_present (see the
definition of PointerUnion::dyn_cast), but this patch uses dyn_cast.
Note that:

    assert(ClassTemplSpec->getSpecializedTemplate() && ...);

a few lines above guarantees that
ClassTemplSpec->getSpecializedTemplateOrPartial() is nonnull.
