[Mlir-commits] [mlir] [mlir] Avoid segfault in 'MoveBlockRewrite' rollback (PR #178148)

[Lukas Sommer]

https://github.com/sommerlukas created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/178148

Prior to this change, rollback of the `MoveBlockRewrite` could result in segfault if the block wasn't contained in a region anymore.

That situation could arise if the previous rollback of another rewrite orphaned the block by removing it from its region, as demonstrated by the new test pattern.
