Rollup merge of #52316 - seanmonstar:waker-unsafety, r=cramertj
task: remove wrong comments about non-existent LocalWake trait
~~A `LocalWaker` is specifically `!Send `, and the unsafety comment around
`LocalWaker::new` only specifies that it be safe to call `wake_local`.
One could then accidentally promote a `LocalWaker` into a `Waker`, which
is universally `Send`, simply via `Waker::from(local_waker)`. A
`LocalWaker` the was built expecting to not be `Send`, such as using
`Rc`, could be sent to other threads safely.~~
~~Separately, though somewhat related, `Context` holds a `&LocalWaker`
internally, and exposes a `waker() -> &Waker` method. This simply
transmutes the `&LocalWaker` to `&Waker`, which would be unsound, except
that you can't "send" a `&Waker`, you'd need to clone it first. Since
`UnsafeWake::clone_raw` requires that it return a `Waker`, the transmute
is not unsound. The transmuted `LocalWaker` will be promoted to a
`Waker` correctly.~~
~~That would mean that if `UnsafeWake::clone_raw` were to be changed, such
as returning `Self` instead of `Waker`, this would no longer be sound.
Thus, this also adds a comment to `clone_raw` to remember this.~~
