linux-next: manual merge of the rust tree with the driver-core tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

After merging the rust tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

error[E0599]: no method named `len_with_nul` found for reference `&'static ffi::CStr` in the current scope
