[PATCH] rust: ptr: replace unneeded use of `build_assert`

From: Alexandre Courbot
Date: Tue Dec 16 2025 - 03:29:10 EST


Since `ALIGN` is a const parameter, this assertion can be done in const
context using the `assert!` macro.

Result of a quick discussion about build_assert with Alice at LPC. :)
Thanks for pointing this out.
