Description

This code from src/sage/categories/coercion_methods.pyx looks like a potential infinite loop: 

    if have_same_parent_c(self, right) and hasattr(self, "_add_"):
        return self._add_(right)
    return coercion_model.bin_op(self, right, operator.add)

The hasattr(self, "_add_") clause is bad: if there is no _add_, the coercion model will just call __add__, which calls the coercion model, which calls __add__...

Solution: remove the hasattr(self, "_add_").

Hopefully the whole module coercion_methods.pyx can be removed in #20767 and then the problem will disappear by itself.
