don't lint while_let_on_iterator on nested loops

The problem is with a nested loop, the iterator may well be reused. This
changeset introduces a false negative, when the iterator is initialized
within the outer loop. A further PR could get rid of this false negative
by checking if the iterator is indeed initialized within the outer loop.
