 As noted in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12785#comment:6,
 `TcHsType.tc_infer_args` does not set its in-scope set correctly, which
 means the call to `TcMType.new_meta_tv_x` will fail if `substTyUnchecked`
 is replaced by `substTy` in the line
 {{{
 kind   = substTyUnchecked subst (tyVarKind tv)
 }}}

 This is the only known caller of `new_meta_tv_x` to not set the in-scope
 set, now that #12549 has been fixed.  Once this bug is fixed, change
 `substTyUnchecked` back to `substTy` in the line noted above.

 Note that other calls to `substTyUnchecked` that need to be converted to
 `substTy` are covered in the general ticket #11371.
