Summary

Just updated to 1.97 using cargo, and the std_instead_of_core lint was emitted when it hadn't been in the past.

This looks like a regression of the fixes for #9545.

Lint Name

std_instead_of_core

Reproducer

I tried this code:

use std::io::ErrorKind;

I saw this happen:

[<output>](warning: used import from `std` instead of `core`)

I expected to see this happen:

No output, since core::io::ErrorKind is not stable yet.
