Description
fn x<T: Clone>/* pls don't format me away */(x: T) {}
fn x/* pls don't format me away */<T: Clone>(x: T) {}
fn /* pls don't format me away */x<T: Clone>(x: T) {}
All of these examples are formatted to
fn x<T: Clone>(x: T) {}
but I expect the comment to stay.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running rustfmt on the three Rust function declarations shown in the report. Inspect the formatter path for function declarations and its handling of comments around generic parameters; done means each /* pls don't format me away */ comment remains in the formatted output.
