[PATCH] rust: helpers: add is_vmalloc_addr wrapper for NOMMU builds

Commit 47ac2a4b5cd8 ("rust: kvec: implement shrink_to for KVVec")
introduced a call to bindings::is_vmalloc_addr(). However, this
fails to compile on architectures where CONFIG_MMU is disabled,
resulting in the following build error:

error[E0425]: cannot find function is_vmalloc_addr in crate bindings

When CONFIG_MMU is not set, is_vmalloc_addr() is defined as a
static inline function in <linux/mm.h> that unconditionally
returns false. Because bindgen skips static inline functions
when generating bindings, the symbol is completely missing from
the Rust bindings crate.

Fix this by providing a C helper wrapper, rust_helper_is_vmalloc_addr(),
in rust/helpers/vmalloc.c. This ensures the function is reliably
exposed to Rust regardless of the MMU configuration. On NOMMU builds,
this allows KVVec::shrink_to() to successfully compile and correctly
route all allocations through the kmalloc realloc path.
