This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3 lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other pointer casts weren't missed.
As a later addition, `clippy::cast_lossless` and `clippy::ref_as_ptr` are also enabled.
This series depends on "rust: retain pointer mut-ness in `container_of!`"[1].
