Describe the Bug

@next/next/no-server-import-in-page rule throws error on nested _middleware.js.

Error: next/server should not be imported outside of pages/_middleware.js. See https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/no-server-import-in-page. @next/next/no-server-import-in-page

Expected Behavior

This rules should behave the same way for nested and root _middleware.js

To Reproduce

Create 2 _middleware.js, one in ./pages/_middleware.js and the other in ./pages/nested/_middleware.js with the same code and import import { NextResponse } from "next/server";.

Code Example: https://replit.com/@francofantini/no-server-import-in-page-bug

Run npm run lint on this repo and you’ll see that the rule @next/next/no-server-import-in-page fails for ./pages/link/_middleware.js but not for ./pages/_middleware.js.

$ npm run lint

> next12@0.1.0 lint /home/runner/no-server-import-in-page-bug
> next lint


./pages/link/_middleware.js
1:1  Error: next/server should not be imported outside of pages/_middleware.js. See https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/no-server-import-in-page.  @next/next/no-server-import-in-page
