/// **What it does:** Checks for usage of `*&` and `*&mut` in expressions.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Immediately dereferencing a reference is no-op and
/// makes the code less clear.
///
/// **Known problems:** Multiple dereference/addrof pairs are not handled so
/// the suggested fix for `x = **&&y` is `x = *&y`, which is still incorrect.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// let a = f(*&mut b);
/// let c = *&d;
