From: Mike Pall <mike>

Reported by Sergey Kaplun.

(cherry-picked from commit caf7cbc57c945f7b68871ad72abafb2b6e6fb7f5)

Assume, we have the following Lua code:
| local _
| for _ in (nil):foo() do end

The first part of the bytecode emitted for it is the following:
| 0001    KNIL     0   1
| 0002    MOV      2   1
| 0003    TGETS    1   1   0  ; "foo"
| 0004    CALL     1   4   2

The `0001 KNIL` is a result of merging two `KPRI` instructions: one for
the local variable, one for the slot with `nil` object. During parsing in
`predict_next()` the second `MOV` bytecode is examined to set `pairs` or
`next` local variable. But, as far as it moves `nil` value, that isn't
an actual variable, so it has no the name this leads to the crash.

This patch adds the check to be sure that `RD` in the `MOV` bytecode is
an actual variable.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem
