[PATCH v5 0/6] rust: reduce pointer casts, enable related lints

[Tamir Duberstein]

This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno
Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I
discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3
lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other
pointer casts weren't missed. The first commit reduces the need for
pointer casts and is shared with another series[1].

The final patch also enables pointer provenance lints and fixes
violations. See that commit message for details. The build system
portion of that commit is pretty messy but I couldn't find a better way
to convincingly ensure that these lints were applied globally.
Suggestions would be very welcome.

Changes in v5:
- Use `pointer::addr` in OF. (Boqun Feng)
- Add documentation on stubs. (Benno Lossin)
- Mark stubs `#[inline]`.
- Pick up Alice's RB on a shared commit from
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/Z9f-3Aj3_FWBZRrm@xxxxxxxxxx/.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250315-ptr-as-ptr-v4-0-b2d72c14dc26@xxxxxxxxx

Changes in v4:
- Add missing SoB. (Benno Lossin)
- Use `without_provenance_mut` in alloc. (Boqun Feng)
- Limit strict provenance lints to the `kernel` crate to avoid complex
  logic in the build system. This can be revisited on MSRV >= 1.84.0.
