Issue: ICE Error: Query stack overflow during type-checking of generic constant expression
Labels: I-ICE,T-compiler,C-bug,F-generic_const_exprs,requires-incomplete-features

<!--
Thank you for finding an Internal Compiler Error! 🧊  If possible, try to provide
a minimal verifiable example. You can read "Rust Bug Minimization Patterns" for
how to create smaller examples.
http://blog.pnkfx.org/blog/2019/11/18/rust-bug-minimization-patterns/
-->

### Code
When compiling the following Rust code without enabling the `generic_const_exprs feature` flag, it doesn't trigger an ICE :
```Rust
#![feature(generic_const_exprs)]
fn foo<'a>()
    where [(); {let _: &'a ();}]== [(); {let _: &'a ();}]
{
    //code
}
```
The provided Rust code triggers an ICE (Internal Compiler Error) during the type-checking of a generic constant expression. The error message indicates a query stack overflow, which occurs when the compiler's query mechanism encounters a recursion or excessive depth.

### Meta
<!--
If you're using the stable version of the compiler, you should also check if the
bug also exists in the beta or nightly versions.
-->

`rustc --version --verbose`:
```
rustc 1.74.0-nightly (ec08a0337 2023-09-04)

what's more, The above code also triggers an ICE error on rustc stable 1.72.
