Description:
------------
I found a strange (yet consistent across since 5.6) regarding infinite loop patterns error reporting. preg_match() correctly identifies broken patterns and triggers E_WARN, however preg_last_error() returns PREG_NO_ERROR instead of expected PREG_RECURSION_LIMIT_ERROR.

It may be related to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74183

Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Test at https://3v4l.org/UkeMa

var_dump(preg_match('/((?1)?z)/', ''));
var_dump(preg_last_error() === \PREG_NO_ERROR);

Expected result:
----------------
- preg_match() returning false
- preg_last_error() returning value of PREG_RECURSION_LIMIT_ERROR

Actual result:
--------------
- preg_match() returns false
- preg_last_error() returns value of PREG_NO_ERROR
