Subject: [PATCH] [mlir][affine] Treat failed dependence checks conservatively

Reject tiling and loop permutation when Affine dependence analysis cannot construct a complete relation, and preserve the original loop nest when sequential-loop sinking encounters the same failure. Add regressions for a semi-affine same-memref dependence.

Fixes #210585
