declare_interior_mutable_const fires for static pointer types

[Qix-]

Summary

Unless I'm not understanding something here, declare_interior_mutable_const seems to be firing a false-positive for pointers to inner mutable types. I can understand why constant inner-mutables make no sense, but pointers to static inner mutables are a different thing - the pointer is the constant part, not the object itself, and in certain (all?) contexts, the pointer will not change.

Lint Name

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![feature(const_refs_to_static)]
#![allow(dead_code)]

use std::mem::MaybeUninit;
use std::sync::Mutex;

static SOME_THING: MaybeUninit<Mutex<usize>> = MaybeUninit::uninit();
const SOME_THING_PTR: *const Mutex<usize> = SOME_THING.as_ptr();

I saw this happen:

warning: a `const` item should not be interior mutable
 --> src/lib.rs:8:1
  |
8 | const SOME_THING_PTR: *const Mutex<usize> = SOME_THING.as_ptr();
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  = help: consider making this `Sync` so that it can go in a static item or using a `thread_local`
  = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#declare_interior_mutable_const
  = note: `#[warn(clippy::declare_interior_mutable_const)]` on by default

I expected to see this happen:

No warning.
