[PATCH] rust: clean Rust 1.86.0 new `clippy::needless_continue` cases

From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Tue Apr 01 2025 - 18:13:32 EST


Starting with the upcoming Rust 1.86.0, Clippy's `needless_continue` lint
complains about the last statement of a loop [1], including cases like:

while ... {
match ... {
... if ... => {
...
return ...;
}
_ => continue,
}
}

as well as nested `match`es in a loop.

Thus clean them up.

To be honest, I am not sure we want this.

The lint can find cases that should be simplified, and it has been a nice lint
so far, but somehow I feel that using `continue` shows the intent better when
it is alone in an arm like that, and I am not sure we want to force people to
try to find other ways to write the code either, in cases when that applies.

If others feel this reads worse, then I would be happy to disable the lint and
open an issue upstream to keep the cases that are more clear cut.
