[mlir] Fix crash in testNoSkipErasureCallbacks on empty blocks

[joker-eph]

The noSkipBlockErasure callback in testNoSkipErasureCallbacks called block->front().getParentRegion() to get the parent region of a block. This dereferences the ilist sentinel node when the block has no operations, triggering an assertion failure.

Use block->getParent() instead, which directly returns the region containing the block without requiring any operations to be present.

Fixes #183511
