[PATCH v2 0/8] rust: workqueue: add bindings for the workqueue

[Alice Ryhl]

This patchset contains bindings for the kernel workqueue.

One of the primary goals behind the design used in this patch is that we
must support embedding the `work_struct` as a field in user-provided
types, because this allows you to submit things to the workqueue without
having to allocate, making the submission infallible. If we didn't have
to support this, then the patch would be much simpler. One of the main
things that make it complicated is that we must ensure that the function
pointer in the `work_struct` is compatible with the struct it is
contained within.

The original version of the workqueue bindings was written by Wedson,
but I have rewritten much of it so that it uses the pin-init
infrastructure and can be used with containers other than `Arc`.

Changes since v1:

Most of this patchset was rewritten based on Gary's example for how
field projections can be used with the workqueue.

I have also added some examples of how the workqueue bindings will be
used. You can find those in the last patch of this patchset.
