Autocorrect nested UnlessElse causing "Parser::Source::TreeRewriter detected clobbering"

[MaxLap]

Juniors can be so creative in how poor they can write code 😆

Running this snippet:

unless abc
  a
else
  unless cde
    b
  else
    c
  end
end

causes this message: An error occurred while Style/UnlessElse cop was inspecting the_snippet.rb

adding -d to obtain a backtrace:

Notes

Happens with -a and -A. Seems related to having nested uses of the cop.
