Issue #31654: Being cured of vampirism before Soul Cairn causes endless loop

 
This is an edge case, but if you do the following, Serana will enter an endless loop of trying to turn you into a vampire, but then not actually do anything. Every few seconds, she'll repeat her line about turning you, but you will be locked in place with no controls.
* Elect to become a vampire in order to enter the Soul Cairn
* Don't actually enter the Soul Cairn
* Get cured of your vampirism
* Return to the Soul Cairn and speak with Serana

This is what happens with USSEP already installed; not sure if the same would happen with vanilla or not

What's the exact line Serana says? The "I promise to try and make this as painless as possible. Hold still."?

I think I know the issue, but I'm unsure if the fix is safe. The issue is if she re-bites you, the game tries to rerun stage 110 to re-apply vampirism and allow you to enter, the script is all set up for this. The problem is the quest doesn't allow repeated stages, so if she bit you once before, stage 110 can't rerun.
Flagging "allow repeated stages" would fix this ,but I'm worried it might be possible for earlier story stages to rerun as a result as well.

This should fix it, it moves DLC1VQ04QuestScript.seranaBite() from stage 110 to the dialog's own On End block.
