What is this lint about

Lifetime name '_ is reserved for possible future use as a lifetime placeholder, similarly to how _ is used as a placeholder in types or patterns (see, for example, rust-lang/rfcs#1177).
Earlier versions of the compiler accepted '_ as a normal lifetime or label name, #33794 fixed this oversight.

How to fix this warning/error

Rename the lifetime or label named '_ into something else, like 'a or 'z.

Turn sufficiently old compatibility lints into hard errors

It's been almost 7 months since #36894 was merged, so it's time to take the next step.

[breaking-change], needs crater run.
