Fixes #<!-- -->202782

When folding bufferization.to_buffer(bufferization.to_tensor(...)), only create a memref.cast if the source and destination memref types are cast-compatible.

This avoids asserting on unranked memrefs with different memory spaces and leaves the original bufferization ops in place instead.
