Missing warning when applying `#[path = "..."]` to a inline module

[cyrgani]

Code

#[path = "bar.rs"]
pub mod foo {}

Current output

no output

Desired output

warning: `#[path]` only has an effect on modules without bodies
 --> src/lib.rs:1:1
  |
1 | #[path = "bar.rs"]
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = note: `#[warn(unused_attributes)]` on by default

Rationale and extra context

A similar warning exists for other misuses of the attribute, like

#[path = "bar.rs"]
pub struct Foo;

(IMO, this misuse should eventually become a hard error, but that's not the point of this issue.)

Actually, AFAICT, this is intentional as per the Reference on path attribute.

In particular,

An example of combining the above rules of path attributes on inline modules and nested modules within (applies to both mod-rs and non-mod-rs files):

#[path = "thread_files"]
mod thread {
   // Load the `local_data` module from `thread_files/tls.rs` relative to
    // this source file's directory.
    #[path = "tls.rs"]
    mod local_data;
}

This is a duplicate of #13156. I only found out when I tried to make this warn and some tests failed (good).
