[PATCH 1/2] rust: kernel: document safety for rust_fmt_argument

From: Navaneeth K

Date: Sat Nov 22 2025 - 14:09:41 EST


Add a proper // SAFETY: comment for the unsafe pointer dereference in
rust_fmt_argument. The comment explains that the caller guarantees
the pointer validity, satisfying the Rust-for-Linux safety documentation
requirements.
