[RFC PATCH] rust: kernel: clean explicit lifetimes that can be elided

[Miguel Ojeda]

In nightly Clippy (i.e. Rust 1.83.0), the `needless_lifetimes` lint has
been extended [1] to suggest eliding `impl` lifetimes, e.g.

    error: the following explicit lifetimes could be elided: 'a

        = note: `-D clippy::needless-lifetimes` implied by `-D warnings`
        = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(clippy::needless_lifetimes)]`

    647 - impl<'a, T: ?Sized + ListItem<ID>, const ID: u64> FusedIterator for Iter<'a, T, ID> {}
    647 + impl<T: ?Sized + ListItem<ID>, const ID: u64> FusedIterator for Iter<'_, T, ID> {}

Thus clean them.

Do we want this in general, or just in some cases? There is an issue about this
where we may want to leave some feedback:
