Revert "Auto merge of #39485 - canndrew:inference-fix-39297, r=nikomatsakis"

This reverts commit dc0bb3f2839c13ab42feacd423f728fbfd2f2f7a, reversing
changes made to e879aa43ef63962f8e4d797292194a9f40a22a13.

This is a temporary step intended to fix regressions. A more
comprehensive fix for type inference and dead-code is in the works.
