[PATCH] rust: bitmap: clean Rust 1.92.0 `unused_unsafe` warning

From: Miguel Ojeda

Date: Sun Oct 12 2025 - 20:14:37 EST


Starting with Rust 1.92.0 (expected 2025-12-11), Rust allows to safely
take the address of a union field [1][2]:

CLIPPY L rust/kernel.o
error: unnecessary `unsafe` block
--> rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:169:13
|
169 | unsafe { core::ptr::addr_of!(self.repr.bitmap) }
| ^^^^^^ unnecessary `unsafe` block
|
= note: `-D unused-unsafe` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(unused_unsafe)]`

error: unnecessary `unsafe` block
--> rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:185:13
|
185 | unsafe { core::ptr::addr_of_mut!(self.repr.bitmap) }
| ^^^^^^ unnecessary `unsafe` block

Thus allow both instances to clean the warning in newer compilers.
