Rollup merge of rust-lang#115844 - oli-obk:opaque_lifetime_ambiguity, r=jackh726

Paper over an accidental regression

r? types

cc rust-lang#115781 (do not close issue until beta backport has been performed)

The PR reasons are explained with comments in the source.

In order to keep the diff simple, this PR effectively reverts rust-lang#113661, but only for RPITs. I will submit a follow up PR that fixes this correctly instead of just disabling the newly added check for RPITs. This PR should be significantly easier to review for beta backport
