INIT_USER_CALL borrows the callable array from op2 without holding a reference. Validating a compound [$obj, "Class::method"] callable emits an E_DEPRECATED that reaches a user error handler, which can drop the array's last reference; the receiver taken from element 0 is then released before the call frame is built, and the method body runs with $this pointing at freed memory. Hold the array across validation and the frame build, as the closure case in the same handler already does.

INIT_USER_CALLreads the callable array from op2 without holding a reference, so an error handler reached by the compound-callable deprecation can free the receiver before the call frame is built.array_map()and friends are unaffected: the callable arrives as an argument, so the frame holds a reference for the call. Master only, matching php#22881.
