Clippy fails to fix unnecessary_to_owned #106374

Description

@KonradHoeffner

Clippy told me to file a bug report after it reports three occurrences of "unnecessary_to_owned" in a single method that it can't fix.

hdt$ cargo clippy --fix 
    Checking hdt v0.0.8 (/home/konrad/tmp/hdt)
warning: failed to automatically apply fixes suggested by rustc to crate `hdt`

after fixes were automatically applied the compiler reported errors within these files:

  * src/hdt_graph.rs

This likely indicates a bug in either rustc or cargo itself [...]

The following errors were reported:
error[E0521]: borrowed data escapes outside of function
  --> src/hdt_graph.rs:86:14
   |
51 | fn auto_term<T: Data>(s: &str) -> Result<Term<T>, TermError> {
   |                       -  - let's call the lifetime of this reference `'1`
   |                       |
   |                       `s` is a reference that is only valid in the function body
...

   |              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   |              |
   |              `s` escapes the function body here
   |              argument requires that `'1` must outlive `'static`

error: aborting due to previous error
