6.2 cherry-pick of #81181
Description: Fixes a compiler crash in some circumstances when erasing a type parameter that is rooted in a primary associated type of an existential value.
Origination: The regression shipped in Swift 6.1.

Risk: Low. This changes a frequently-called code path, but I believe it's well-tested. The isValidTypeParameter() check does not assert on invalid inputs, and it returns true in all cases that the old check returned true.
