Resolves an issue where OverriddenMethod could be null during semantic classification in Visual Studio, causing a StreamJsonRpc.RemoteInvocationException. The fix simplifies the while loop condition to check for both IsOverride and OverriddenMethod != null in a single expression, preventing the null reference exception. Fixes dotnet#59736

Description
Fixed a null reference exception that occurs during semantic classification in Visual Studio when analyzing overridden methods.
Issue
Fixes #59736
Changes
GetDeclaringTypemethod to check bothIsOverrideandOverriddenMethod != nulltogetherOverriddenMethodpropertyTechnical Details
The original code would enter the loop when
method.IsOverridewas true, butOverriddenMethodcould still be null in certain edge cases. By combining both checks in the loop condition, we avoid the null reference exception entirely.Testing
