False positive with clippy::needless-lifetimes when lifetime is used in where clause with assoc type

[WaffleLapkin]

I tried this code:

use core::ops::Deref;

pub fn apply_deref<'a, T, F, R>(x: &'a T, f: F) -> R
where
    T: Deref,
    F: FnOnce(&'a T::Target) -> R,
{
    f(x.deref())
}

I expected to see this happen: no warnings

Instead, this happened: needless lifetimes warning

warning: explicit lifetimes given in parameter types where they could be elided (or replaced with `'_` if needed by type declaration)
 --> src/lib.rs:3:1

Removing the lifetime will cause a compilation error if the returned value borrows from the closure parameter or is the closure parameter itself:

use core::ops::Deref;

pub fn apply_deref<T, F, R>(x: &T, f: F) -> R
where
    T: Deref,
    F: FnOnce(&T::Target) -> R,
{
    f(x.deref())
}

fn main() {
    let x: Vec<i32> = vec![];
    apply_deref(&x, |v| v);
}

(playground)

cc @montrivo as you may have an idea of what the problem could be

This is a regression of #5978. I've prepared a fix.

[tnielens]

The lint bails out on named lifetimes found in the where clause predicates. The regression caused the lint to shortcircuit after the first predicate (T: Deref, in the example) and not walk the following ones (F: FnOnce(&'a T::Target) -> R,).
