This fixes `go test go/types`. https://golang.org/cl/23487/ introduced this code which contains two unused variables (declared and assigned to, but never read). cmd/compile doesn't report the error due open issue #8560 (the variables are assigned to in a closure), but go/types does. The build bot only runs go/types tests in -short mode (which doesn't typecheck the std lib), hence this doesn't show up on the dashboard either. We cannot call b.Fatal and friends in the goroutine. Communicating the error to the invoking function requires a channel or a mutex. Unless the channel/sycnhronized variable is tested in each iteration that follows, the iteration blocks if there's a failure. Testing in each iteration may affect benchmark times. One could use a time-out but that time depends on the underlying system. Panicking seems good enough in this unlikely case; better than hanging or affecting benchmark times.
