`unnecessary-operation` suggestion on `[();1][<expr>]` is werid

Summary

Because of my minimal rust version (1.56), I have to use the hack [(); 1][<expr>] in const block for const assertions.

Lint Name

unnecessary-operation

Reproducer

I tried this code:

const _: () = {
    use std::os::windows::io::RawHandle;
    let std_layout = Layout::new::<RawHandle>();
    let win_sys_layout = Layout::new::<usize>();
    // MSRV(Rust v1.57): use assert! instead
    [(); 1][std_layout.size() - win_sys_layout.size()];
};

I saw this happen:

error: unnecessary operation
  --> src/internals/c.rs:42:5
   |
42 |     [(); 1][std_layout.size() - win_sys_layout.size()];
   |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: statement can be written as: `assert!([(); 1].len() > std_layout.size() - win_sys_layout.size());`
   |
   = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#unnecessary_operation
   = note: `-D clippy::unnecessary-operation` implied by `-D warnings`

I expected to see this happen: It's my fault for using nightly clippy for msrv, however I expect that clippy should suggest

assert!(std_layout.size() == win_sys_layout.size());

No response

Start with the reproducer in the issue and inspect the unnecessary-operation lint behavior around src/internals/c.rs:42. Compare the current suggestion with the expected assertion shown in the report. Done means the lint handles this [(); 1][] const-assertion pattern without suggesting the misleading replacement, with coverage for the reported case.
