[PATCH] rust: pin-init: examples: fix `useless_borrows_in_formatting` clippy warning

From: Gary Guo

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 07:52:05 EST


From: Gary Guo <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Clippy 1.97 introduces new `useless_borrows_in_formatting` warning which
fires on the examples as we have `&*expr` where the format macro takes
reference already. Remove the extra borrow.

The examples are not built in the kernel tree and they're really just
examples for reference purpose.

They're, however, built and required to kept lint-clean in pin-init CI.
