cmd/compile: fix order-of-assignment issue w/ defers

CL 261677 fixed a logic issue in walk's alias detection, where it was
checking the RHS expression instead of the LHS expression when trying
to determine the kind of assignment. However, correcting this exposed
a latent issue with assigning to result parameters in functions with
defers, where an assignment could become visible earlier than intended
if a later expression could panic.

Fixes #43835.
