In https://github.com/guardian/gateway/pull/2830 we fixed an issue with account remediation for users stuck in a specific limbo state. See that PR for more details about the issue.
However since we added a recursive call in the fix, there is an unlikely, but not zero chance that an infinite loop could occur.
This PR adds a loopDetectionFlag so we know when we've called the function again recursively, and checking this flag to make sure we throw early should a loop be detected!
