Auto merge of #77972 - Mark-Simulacrum:side-effect-loop, r=nagisa

Prevent miscompilation in trivial loop {}

Ideally, we would want to handle a broader set of cases to fully fix the
underlying bug here. That is currently relatively expensive at compile and
runtime, so we don't do that for now.

Performance results indicate this is not a major regression, if at all, so it should be safe to land.
