Compiler freezes on trait with generic associated type

I tried this code:

trait What {
    type This<'a>: 'a
    where
        for<'b> Self::This<'b>: 'a + 'b;
}

impl<T> What for T {
    type This<'a> = T where T: 'a;
}

I expected to see this happen: The compiler returning with a success (probably not) or a compilation error

Instead, this happened: Compiler freezes, cpu usage shows one core of 100% usage (infinite loop?)

I tried some versions between GATs stabilizing and current nightly, and all had the same behavior.

This could be a duplicate of existing similar issues, but I am not sure if that is the case.

Start by compiling the issue's minimal trait and generic-associated-type example with the reported rustc 1.81.0 version, confirming the one-core freeze. Trace the compiler path reached by this reproducer and add a regression test; done means the example terminates with a compilation result or diagnostic instead of hanging.
