[v12.0/forgejo] chore: fix transient error in TestPatchStatus tests (take 2) (#9243)

**Backport:** https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/9241

AssertExistsAndLoadBean has a side effect on its argument. When retrying in a loop, it must use the non modified argument, otherwise it is bound to return the same row as the first failure and render the retry useless.

Refs forgejo/forgejo#9236

---

Without this fix it fails 100% of the time locally on testify v1.11 because it runs the test before waiting stretchr/testify#1427
