Bug #78409 Segfault when creating instance of ArrayIterator without constructor

Description:
------------
This is related to the new serialization mechanism of PHP 7.4.
I don't have a better reproducer because when I try to isolate the crash, it works...
Here is my reproducer, sorry I don't have a better one for now:
Clone https://github.com/nicolas-grekas/symfony
checkout branch "ve-php74"

Then run
./phpunit src/Symfony/Component/VarExporter/ --do-not-cache-result --filter testExport#6

boom

What the code does is that it:
- uses newInstanceWithoutConstructor to create an ArrayIterator
- clones that instance
- calls __unserialize on the clone instance with a valid payload

The crash happens after these step, when e.g. calling print_r() on the object.
When done "manually", it works. But in the context of the test case, it segfaults.

I believe the root cause here is this:

$a = new ArrayObject;
$u = [
    0,
    [],
    [],
];
$a->__unserialize($u);
var_dump($u);

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  int(0)
  [1]=>
  NULL        <-- changed to NULL
  [2]=>
  array(0) {
  }
}
