 If you create a user with the username set as the email address, when you
 use `wp_update_user` to update the user's data, in WP 6.2 RC3 it will
 throw a 'existing_user_email_as_login' error due to the code introduced to
 fix https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57394.

 The code does not account for update calls to `wp_insert_user`, and if the
 function is called as part of an update it should check that the user
 being updated is different to the user found by the email search.
