Fix false positive in use-yield-from when using yield return (#9700) (#9701)

If the return value from `yield` is inspected inline, such as by
(augmented) assignment, changing the looped `yield` to `yield from` is
very likely to change the semantics of the generator, since there is an
implicit use of `generator.send`.

Closes #9696
