[PATCH 1/2] rust: sync: require `Send` and `Sync` for `Backend::State`

From: Benno Lossin
Date: Tue Sep 03 2024 - 05:17:40 EST


`Lock<T, B>` implements `Send` and `Sync` when `T` is `Send` or `Sync`
respectively. Since this does not depend on `B`, creating a `Lock` that
is `Send` and `Sync`, but with a `!Sync` or `!Send` state is possible.
This is a soundness issue, thus add the bounds to the respective impls.
