    Rollup merge of #57840 - tromey:fix-issue-57762, r=nikic
    
    Fix issue 57762
    
    against a stock LLVM 7.  LLVM 7 was released without a necessary fix
    for a bug in the DWARF discriminant code.
    
    This patch changes rustc to use the fallback mode on (non-Rust) LLVM 7.
    
    Closes #57762
