collapsible_else_if lint false positive

[sabify]

Summary

There is a bug in the collapsible_else_if lint that shows an irrelevant warning about collapsing else if statements when it shouldn't.

Lint Name

collapsible_else_if

Reproducer

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    let x = if true {
        Some(1)
    } else {
        if true {
            println!("Some debug information");
        };
        None
    };
}

I saw this happen:

warning: this `else { if .. }` block can be collapsed
 --> src/main.rs:4:12
  |
4 |       } else {
  |  ____________^
5 | |         if true {
6 | |             println!("Some debug information");
7 | |         };
8 | |         None
9 | |     };

  |
4 ~     } else if true {
5 +         println!("Some debug information");
6 ~     };
  |

I expected to see this happen:

No warning.
