When `deriveTyData` attempts to unify two kind variables (which can
happen if both the typeclass and the datatype are poly-kinded), it
mistakenly adds an extra mapping to its substitution which causes the
unification to fail when applying the substitution. This can be
prevented by checking both the domain and the range of the original
substitution to see which kind variables shouldn't be put into the
domain of the substitution. A more in-depth explanation is included in
`Note [Unification of two kind variables in deriving]`.

Fixes #11837.
