[RFC v2 19/20] rust: allow extracting the buffer from a CString

[Alistair Francis]

The kernel CString is a wrapper aroud a KVec. This patch allows
retrieving the underlying buffer and consuming the CString. This allows
users to create a CString from a string and then retrieve the underlying
buffer.
