[Mlir-commits] [mlir] [mlir][IR] Fix inconsistency in block/op dominance (PR #115413)

[Matthias Springer]

https://github.com/matthias-springer created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/115413

An operation is considered to properly dominate itself in a graph region. That's because there is no concept of "dominance" in a graph region. (`dominates` returns "true" for all pairs of ops in the same block. It makes sense to do the same for `properlyDominates`.)

Previously, a block was *not* considered to dominate itself in a graph region. This commit fixes thise asymmetry between ops and blocks: both are now properly dominating themselves in a graph region.
