Auto merge of rust-lang#12535 - samueltardieu:issue-12528, r=y21

`useless_asref`: do not lint `.as_ref().map(Arc::clone)`

This applies to `Arc`, `Rc`, and their weak variants. Using `.clone()` would be less idiomatic.

This follows the discussion in <rust-lang/rust-clippy#12528 (comment)>.

changelog: [`useless_asref`]: do not lint `.as_ref().map(Arc::clone)` and similar
