pytest_plugins bug

[deviumgroup]

Hi, There seems to be a change between version 7.1 and version 7.0 that causes pytest_plugins to be bugged.

I understand that defining 'pytest_plugins' in a non-top-level conftest is no longer supported since a long time back, but something changed in the behavior between version 7.0 and 7.1 that causes the problem below:

$ python -m my_package.tests
pytest c:/workspace/venv/lib/site-packages/my_package/tests
============================= test session starts =============================
platform win32 -- Python 3.10.4, pytest-7.1.1, pluggy-0.13.1

=================================== ERRORS ====================================
________________________ ERROR collecting test session ________________________
Defining 'pytest_plugins' in a non-top-level conftest is no longer supported:
It affects the entire test suite instead of just below the conftest as expected.
  c:\workspace\venv\lib\site-packages\my_package\tests\conftest.py
Please move it to a top level conftest file at the rootdir:
  c:\workspace\venv\lib\site-packages\my_package\tests

As you can see, pytest wants me to move the file to the same location it already exists at... This did not happened with version 7.0.

Kindly revert this bug.
