[PATCH v2 2/3] rust: clippy: disable `addr_of!`, `addr_of_mut!` macros

From: Antonio Hickey
Date: Thu Mar 13 2025 - 23:46:24 EST


With the `raw_ref_op` feature enabled we no longer want to
allow use of `addr_of!` and `addr_of_mut!` macros.

We instead want to use `&raw const` and `&raw mut` to get raw
pointers to a place.
