Rollup merge of #71517 - flip1995:unused_braces_hack, r=oli-obk

 Quick and dirty fix of the unused_braces lint

cc @lcnr

Adresses #70814

This at least prevents lint output, if no span is available. Even though this also prevents the `unused_parens` lint from emitting, when the `DUMMY_SP` is used there, but I think that should be ok, since error messages without a span are quite useless anyway.

Clippy CI is currently blocked on this bug. If this quick and dirty fix should be rejected, I could try to work around this in Clippy.
