Canonical URL uses comment URL when comments are set to break into pages

[plari]

If a page or post contains at least one comment, and the setting Break comments into pages... ENABLED under Settings > Discussion, then the page/post's canonical URL is appended with comment-page-1/#comments.

Disabling the setting returns to the canonical URL to the expected URL.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Publish a page or post with comments enabled.
2. Open the content and leave 1 comment
3. While here, view the page source and search for canonical - you should see the expected URL
4. Open Settings > Discussion and enable Break comments into pages...
5. Refresh the content in question, and view the page source again. Now the Canonical URL shows:

https://SITE_ADRESS/POST-SLUG/comment-page-1/#comments

Hi @plari Thank you for the ticket. I checked it with 6.3-alpha-55505-src version and got the similar result (see above).
It looks like duplicate for #11856 and if so, the current ticket should be closed and linked in the first one.
