/// ### What it does
/// Checks for usage of `Mutex<X>` where an atomic will do.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// Using a mutex just to make access to a plain bool or
/// reference sequential is shooting flies with cannons.
/// `std::sync::atomic::AtomicBool` and `std::sync::atomic::AtomicPtr` are leaner and
/// faster.
///
/// On the other hand, `Mutex`es are, in general, easier to
/// verify correctness. An atomic does not behave the same as
/// an equivalent mutex. See [this issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4295)'s commentary for more details.
///
/// ### Known problems
/// This lint cannot detect if the mutex is actually used
/// for waiting before a critical section.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```rust
/// # let y = true;
/// # use std::sync::Mutex;
/// let x = Mutex::new(&y);
/// ```
///
/// Use instead:
/// ```rust
/// # let y = true;
/// # use std::sync::atomic::AtomicBool;
/// let x = AtomicBool::new(y);
/// ```
