TypeError: publicPath.replace is not a function when output.publicPath of webpack config is a function

Bug report

When using function in output.publicPath of Webpack config, the loader of mini-css-extract-plugin seems to handle this situation incorrectly and leading to an error(see below).

If this is a bug, I'm glad to make a PR

Actual Behavior

assets by status 822 bytes [cached] 1 asset
runtime modules 663 bytes 3 modules
cacheable modules 71 bytes
  ./src/index.js 32 bytes [built] [code generated]
  ./src/index.css 39 bytes [built] [code generated] [1 error]

ERROR in ./src/index.css
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/.pnpm/mini-css-extract-plugin@2.4.5_webpack@5.64.4/node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js):
TypeError: publicPath.replace is not a function

 @ ./src/index.js 1:0-21

webpack 5.64.4 compiled with 1 error in 285 ms

Expected Behavior

Expect no errors would be throw.

How Do We Reproduce?

I dig a little and find that the following code should be related:
