Taxonomy::getSiblingIds() leads to endless loop

Problem/Motivation

In some search Taxonomy::getSiblingIds() results in endless loop

Steps to reproduce

Difficult to say how to reproduce it as it relates to specific search results. It happens when $topLevelTerms is empty in the the first call of getSiblingIds() so it triggers second invoke: $this->getSiblingIds($ids, $parentIds). By the definition of function getSiblingIds(), this second call loops the original $ids again while using $parentIds as "$activeIds" which does not feel right. In addition to that, the condition check: if (!$activeIds || in_array($id, $activeIds)) would never be true in this case since $parentIds is not empty while $id is not in $activeIds($parentIds).

    return array_diff(
      array_merge(
        $childIds,
        $topLevelTerms,
        (!$topLevelTerms && $parentSiblings) ? $this->getSiblingIds($ids, $parentIds) : []
      ),
      $ids
    );

Proposed resolution

Feels to me the intention of (!$topLevelTerms && $parentSiblings) ? $this->getSiblingIds($ids, $parentIds) : [] is trying to fetch top level terms so it should be fixed as (!$topLevelTerms && $parentSiblings) ? $this->getSiblingIds($parentIds) : []
