autodoc confuses constructor parameter typehint with class attribute typehint

Describe the bug

The following script

class MyClass:
  "An instance of this class holds a list.\n\n:param r: the list as a string"
  l: list
  def __init__(self,r:str): self.l = list(r)

produces the following doc, as expected:

An instance of this class holds a list.
Parameters * r (str): the list as a string

Now, if I just change the name of the class attribute (and name it the same as the parameter), then Sphinx gets confused.

class MyClass:
  "An instance of this class holds a list.\n\n:param r: the list as a string"
  r: list
  def __init__(self,r:str): self.r = list(r)

produces the following doc, where the parameter is shown as having the type of the attribute with same name:

An instance of this class holds a list.
Parameters * r (list): the list as a string

Having a class attribute and a constructor parameter with the same name but not exactly the same type is quite common. For example, the parameter could be of type Optional[T] and the attribute of type T, with a default value being assigned in the constructor.

How to Reproduce

In index.rst:

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2
   :caption: Contents:

.. automodule:: TEST
   :members:
   :member-order: bysource
   :show-inheritance:

In conf.py:

extensions = ['sphinx.ext.autodoc','sphinx.ext.viewcode']
autodoc_typehints = 'description'

Additional context

No response

Start with the Python reproducer and the index.rst and conf.py settings, especially automodule and autodoc_typehints = 'description'. Run the example with matching class-attribute and constructor-parameter names, then trace autodoc's type-hint handling. Done means the constructor parameter is documented as str rather than inheriting the class attribute's list type.
