Unrolled build for rust-lang#125920

Rollup merge of rust-lang#125920 - bjorn3:allow_static_mut_linkage_def, r=Urgau

Allow static mut definitions with #[linkage]

Unlike static declarations with #[linkage], for definitions rustc doesn't rewrite it to add an extra indirection.

This was accidentally disallowed in rust-lang#125046.
