Description:
------------
This is reduced from an OSS-Fuzz testcase involving unserialize(), but turns out to be some kind of generic GC bug. It is related to the changes to __destruct() handling in 7.4.

Test script:
---------------
class Test {
    public function __destruct() {} 
} 
 
$test = new Test; 
$test->foo = [&$test->foo];
$ary = [&$ary, $test];
unset($ary, $test);
gc_collect_cycles();

Actual result:
--------------

The problem seems to be that we set gc_protected=1 during the zval destruction phase. However, in this case the destruction of the object wants to add the inner array to the GC buffer. (It was previously removed as nested data of the __destruct object.)
