[PATCH] rust: implement ForeignOwnable for Pin<Box<T>>

[Alice Ryhl]

We already implement ForeignOwnable for Box<T>, but it may be useful to
store pinned data in a ForeignOwnable container. This patch makes that
possible.

This will be used together with upcoming miscdev abstractions, which
Binder will use when binderfs is disabled.
