This is not a sharpening halo, which is much more narrow and bright. Instead, this is a subtle, broad lightened area that extends out into lighter areas that are adjacent to dark areas (see cropped area of piling below) creating a halo around the dark area. It develop when the Darken Highlights slider is applied in the Shadows/Highlights adjustments window. If Highlights are not adjusted (reduced), the halo is not created. This effect is not altered by sharpening.
