go/types: fix recvPtr helper (follow-up on https://golang.org/cl/139422)

The prior CL prepared go/types for the situation where methods might
not have a type-checked signature when being looked up. The respective
adjustments to recvPtr were not correct (but because so far method
signatures are type-checked in time, the bug didn't manifest itself).

Updates #23203.
Updates #26854.
