Bug description

When a record field has a polymorphic variant type with no arguments (like [a | b]), use '<-' to assign it involves an unnecessary caml_modify call.Immediate p

Steps to reproduce

$ cat test.ml
type t =
{ mutable field : [ a | b ]
}

let assign t field =
t.field <- field

$ ocamlopt.opt -S test.ml

$ cat test.s
...
camlTest__assign_1010:
.cfi_startproc
subq $8, %rsp
.cfi_adjust_cfa_offset 8
.L100:
movq %rax, %rdi
movq %rbx, %rsi
call caml_modify@PLT
movq $1, %rax
addq $8, %rsp
.cfi_adjust_cfa_offset -8
ret
.cfi_adjust_cfa_offset 8
.cfi_endproc
...

Changing the variant into a non-polymorphic one eliminates this caml_modify.
