Description
Json generator can generate both "$ref" param and "content" param.

Config is still valid, but IDEA marks as warning such params. Also swagger-ui couldn't work correctly with such config: https://github.com/springfox/springfox/issues/3956
openapi-generator version
3.5.1 and on latest image on docker is still reproduced
Steps to reproduce
I created minimal demo to reproduce: https://github.com/SButterfly/openapi_json_bug
Expected behavior
I expected only one of "$ref" or "content" to remain.

Start with the minimal reproduction in https://github.com/SButterfly/openapi_json_bug and inspect the generated OpenAPI JSON for requestBody entries.
