The following FFI types are replaced compared to `core::ffi`:
1. `char` type is now always mapped to `u8`, since kernel uses
`-funsigned-char` on the C code. `core::ffi` maps it to platform
default ABI, which can be either signed or unsigned.
2. `long` is now always mapped to `isize`. It's very common in the
kernel to use `long` to represent a pointer-sized integer, and in
fact `intptr_t` is a typedef of `long` in the kernel. Enforce this
mapping rather than mapping to `i32/i64` depending on platform can
save us a lot of unnecessary casts.

Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates
the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types
instead of `core::ffi`.
This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit
yet.

In Rust, it is possible to `allow` particular warnings (diagnostics,
lints) locally, making the compiler ignore instances of a given warning
within a given function, module, block, etc.
It is similar to `#pragma GCC diagnostic push` + `ignored` + `pop` in C:
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
static void f(void) {}
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
But way less verbose:
#[allow(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more
diagnostics by default (i.e. outside `W=` levels) that may have some
false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to
catch potential mistakes.
The `#[expect(...)]` attribute [1] takes this further, and makes the
compiler warn if the diagnostic was _not_ produced. For instance, the
following will ensure that, when `f()` is called somewhere, we will have
to remove the attribute:
#[expect(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
If we do not, we get a warning from the compiler:
warning: this lint expectation is unfulfilled
--> x.rs:3:10
|
3 | #[expect(dead_code)]
| ^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unfulfilled_lint_expectations)]` on by default
This means that `expect`s do not get forgotten when they are not needed.
See the next commit for more details, nuances on its usage and
documentation on the feature.
The attribute requires the `lint_reasons` [2] unstable feature, but it
is becoming stable in 1.81.0 (to be released on 2024-09-05) and it has
already been useful to clean things up in this patch series, finding
cases where the `allow`s should not have been there.
Thus, enable `lint_reasons` and convert some of our `allow`s to `expect`s
where possible.
This feature was also an example of the ongoing collaboration between
Rust and the kernel -- we tested it in the kernel early on and found an
issue that was quickly resolved [3].

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports
[1], e.g.:
error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly
--> rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9
|
38 | use crate::bindings;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude
Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`.
Thus clean them up.
Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude"
above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

Traits marked with `#[vtable]` need to provide default implementations
for optional functions. The C side represents these with `NULL` in the
vtable, so the default functions are never actually called. We do not
want to replicate the default behavior from C in Rust, because that is
not maintainable. Therefore we should use `build_error` in those default
implementations. The error message for that is provided at
`kernel::error::VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR`.

This adds the error codes from `include/linux/errno.h` to the list of
Rust error constants. These errors were not included originally, because
they are not supposed to be visible from userspace. However, they are
still a perfectly valid error to use when writing a kernel driver. For
example, you might want to return ERESTARTSYS if you receive a signal
during a call to `schedule`.
This patch inserts an annotation to skip rustfmt on the list of error
codes. Without it, three of the error codes are split over several
lines, which looks terribly inconsistent.

Currently, if the `kernel::error::Result` type is in scope (which is
often is, since it's in the kernel's prelude), you cannot write
`Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when you want to use a different error
type than `kernel::error::Error`.
To solve this we change the error type from being hard-coded to just
being a default generic parameter. This still lets you write `Result<T>`
when you just want to use the `Error` error type, but also lets you
write `Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when necessary.

Some kernel C API functions return a pointer which embeds an optional
`errno`. Callers are supposed to check the returned pointer with
`IS_ERR()` and if this returns `true`, retrieve the `errno` using
`PTR_ERR()`.
Create a Rust helper function to implement the Rust equivalent:
transform a `*mut T` to `Result<*mut T>`.
Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/linux, with subsequent refactoring
and contributions squashed in and attributed below. Renamed the function
