[PATCH] rust: misc: add OWNER field to the `MiscDevice` trait

[Alexandru Radovici]

Add `OWNER` constant to the `MiscDevice` trait to allow modules
to prevent unloading while the device is in use.

Set the `OWNER` field in the `rust_misc_device` example.

This patch exposes the `owner` field of `file_operations` to the
Rust API `MiscDevice` trait. It allows users to prevent the
unloading of their loadable modules written in Rust
while their `MiscDevice` is still in use.

Without this ability, writing a misc loadable module and running
the following commands will Oops the kernel.

   # insmod misc_module.ko
   # sleep 10 > /dev/misc_device
   # rmmod misc_module

   ... after the sleep, the kernel Oops

I added the `OWNER` field to the `rust_misc_device` example.
