[PATCH v2 05/14] rust: block: use `NullBorrowFormatter`
From: Andreas Hindborg
Date: Tue Jul 08 2025 - 15:49:55 EST
Use the new `NullBorrowFormatter` to write the name of a `GenDisk` to the
name buffer. This new formatter automatically adds a trailing null marker
after the written characters, so we don't need to append that at the call
site any longer.
