 If the global post object is from a query other than the main query, the
 recent posts widget will restore the wrong post object by calling
 `wp_reset_postdata`.

 {{{#!php
 $my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
 $my_query->the_post();
 // $GLOBALS['post'] is first post of $my_query
 the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Recent_Posts' );
 // $GLOBALS['post'] is restored to the main query's last accessed post
 }}}

 Introduced in [14607] following #12320.
