[PATCH v7 0/3] Rust netlink support + use in Rust Binder

[Alice Ryhl]

The C Binder driver exposes messages over netlink when transactions
fail, so that a userpace daemon can respond to processes with many
failing transactions.

This patch series adds netlink support from Rust, then implements an
equivalent API in Rust Binder.

As Binder only uses broadcast messages, I did not add support for other
kinds of messages.

This series is based on top of the result of merging together the two
branches 'char-misc/char-misc-linus' and 'char-misc/char-misc-next'.
