Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [PPCMergeStringPool] Only replace constant once

In #88846 I changed this code to use RAUW to perform the replacement
instead of manual updates -- but kept the outer loop, which means
we try to perform RAUW once per user. However, some of the users
might be freed by the RAUW operation, resulting in use-after-free.

I think the case where this happens is constant users where the
replacement might result in the destruction of the original
constant. I wasn't able to come up with a test case though.

This is intended to fix https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/92991.
