Broadcast channel calls clone in parallel, but does not require Sync

Details
Status unsound
Package tokio
Version 1.38.0
URL tokio-rs/tokio#7232
Date 2025-04-07

The broadcast channel internally calls clone on the stored value when
receiving it, and only requires T:Send. This means that using the broadcast
channel with values that are Send but not Sync can trigger unsoundness if
the clone implementation makes use of the value being !Sync.

Thank you to Austin Bonander for finding and reporting this issue.
