[PATCH v2 20/21] rust: allow extracting the buffer from a CString

[alistair23]

From: Alistair Francis <alistair@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The kernel CString is a wrapper aroud a KVec. This patch allows
retrieving the underlying buffer and consuming the CString. This allows
users to create a CString from a string and then retrieve the underlying
buffer.
