[PATCH] c++: Fix -Weffc++ in templates [PR98841]

Hi!

We emit a bogus warning on the following testcase, suggesting that the
operator should return *this even when it does that already.
The problem is that normally cp_build_indirect_ref_1 ensures that *this
is folded as current_class_ref, but in templates (if return type is
non-dependent, otherwise check_return_expr doesn't check it) it didn't
go through cp_build_indirect_ref_1, but just built another INDIRECT_REF.
Which means it then doesn't compare pointer-equal to current_class_ref.

The following patch just checks if it is the same thing like
cp_build_indirect_ref_1 would check if it would be called.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk?

	PR c++/98841
	* typeck.c (check_return_expr): If processing_template_decl, don't
	rely on *this expression being always pointer-equal to
	current_class_ref.

	* g++.dg/warn/effc5.C: New test.
