Fixes #121600.

As @jkarneges identified in #121600 (comment), the issue is two different const promotions produce two statics at different addresses, which may or may not later be deduplicated by the linker (in this case not).

Prior to #119863, the content of the statics was compared, and they were equal. After, the address of the statics are compared and they are not equal.

It is documented that will_wake "works on a best-effort basis, and may return false even when the Wakers would awaken the same task" so this PR fixes a quality-of-implementation issue, not a correctness issue.

Currently fails:

Promoteds are generated in each CGU (code generation unit) they are referenced from. For optimized builds with multiple codegen units where vtable function is inlined, the promoted end up duplicated and the original test case still fails.

I think a more robust approach is to mark clone_waker as always inline, so that it is always generated in the same CGU as the vtable (within a single CGU structurally equivalent constants are deduplicated at LLVM IR code generation time).

Without generic statics we don't really have a great solution to this kind of problems :-(.

@tmiasko good call, I confirmed that works.

I am uncertain whether we are better off with this change (always inline clone_waker) or with reverting #119863.

Are there cases where Waker::will_wake will return true prior to #119863, and will return false after this PR? In other words, cases where the program would end up with multiple identical copies of RawWakerVTable::new(..., wake::<W>, ...) all referring to the same instantiation of wake::<W> etc.

If the deduplication of structurally equivalent constants is done by rustc at LLVM IR code generation time while the deduplication of generic function instantiations is done at link time then potentially yes, right?

Thinking about it more, I think this PR is optimal, at least for the LLVM backend. There is no way that cloning a RawWaker returned by raw_waker() would produce a clone that has a different vtable pointer than the original.

Not sure about Miri, or any non-LLVM backend, but that's what the "best-effort basis" part of will_wake is for.

Makes sense to me.

These tests are testing things which are not guaranteed by the language, they just happen to be what rustc currently does. In particular, these tests fail in Miri.

Not sure if that is intentional; there's no comment here indicating such an intent.

I tested this in rust-lang/futures-rs#2834, but this seems to only work in debug build.
In release mode, a test that passed before #119863 now fails. https://github.com/rust-lang/futures-rs/actions/runs/8129901894/job/22233663120?pr=2834

More problems with this test... it seems to have a memory leak. Is that expected?

Any idea how to fix that?

This reproduces in a stand-alone test (run it in Miri to see the leak).
