[PATCH v2] rust: xarray: fix false positive lockdep warnings

[Andreas Hindborg]

`xa_init_flags()` is a static inline that expands `spin_lock_init()`,
which generates a single static `lock_class_key` per compilation unit.
When used through the Rust binding helper, every Rust `XArray`
instance ends up sharing that single key. Lockdep then sees concurrent
locking of distinct Rust `XArray`s as recursive locking on the same
class and emits false-positive lock-ordering reports.

Add a custom helper `xa_init_flags_with_key()` that mirrors
`xa_init_flags()` but takes an explicit name and `struct
lock_class_key` from the caller. Update `XArray::new` to take a name
and a `LockClassKey`, and add a `new_xarray!` macro that uses
`optional_name!` and `static_lock_class!` to generate a unique class
per instantiation site.

Remove the now unused `rust_helper_xa_init_flags`.

This was previously part of the series at [1].

Changes in v2:
- Use a C helper `xa_init_flags_with_key()` that calls
  `lockdep_set_class_and_name()` to install the caller-supplied key,
  rather than calling `__spin_lock_init()` from Rust. Mirrors the
  `init_work_with_key()` pattern in `rust/helpers/workqueue.c`
  (suggested by Alice Ryhl, seconded by Tamir Duberstein).
- Add `Suggested-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@xxxxxxxxxx>`.
- Correct Tamir's `Acked-by:` email to `tamird@xxxxxxxxxx`.
- Rebase on v7.1-rc2.
