Auto merge of #12137 - GuillaumeGomez:fix-unconditional_recursion-false-positive, r=llogiq

Fix false positive in `PartialEq` check in `unconditional_recursion` lint

Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/12133.

We needed to check for the type of the previous element <del>in case it's a field</del>.

EDIT: After some extra thoughts, no need to check if it's a field, just if it's the same type as `Self`.
