[PATCH v2 0/7] rust_binder : Implement dynamic debug logging mask

[Jahnavi MN via B4 Relay]

When a user-space application sends malformed data or makes a
lifecycle mistake, the driver rejects it with a generic error code
(like -EINVAL). Without internal logs, the driver acts as a
"black box," forcing developers to guess which check failed.

In the legacy C Binder driver, this issue is solved using a dynamic
debug_mask module parameter that toggles verbose logs for specific
subsystems. This series brings the same critical capability to the
Rust Binder driver to provide developers with clear, real-time
feedback.

Instead of rebuilds, reboots, or guessing:
- Developers can enable logs instantly on a running device by writing to 
  `/sys/module/rust_binder/parameters/debug_mask`.
- It prints the exact reason for failures (such as alignment errors, 
  mismatched call stacks, or invalid handle references) directly into 
  `dmesg`, reducing debugging time from hours to seconds.
- It protects system logs by keeping logging off by default and only 
  enabling it when developers are actively troubleshooting.

Changes in v2:
- Defined the debug mask categories using bitflags (impl_flags) to
  resolve potential Undefined Behavior and match Rust idioms.
- Added a tgid helper to rust/kernel/task.rs to expose the task
  group ID and optimize default "PID:TID" prefixing.
- Implemented the BINDER_DEBUG_DEATH_NOTIFICATION mask to log OOM
  failures, lifecycle updates, and async delivery to user-space.
- Added pid fields to ThreadError, DeliverCode, and FreezeMessage
  to ensure cancellation logs show the correct process PID instead
  of background kworker PIDs.
- Removed duplicate PID printing across workqueue, transaction
  failure, and stack unwinding logs.
- Refactored log formatting (e.g. formatted BinderError with {:?},
  used "strong"/"weak" strings, and improved message wording).
- Fixed logic bugs (restored missing update_ref block, moved manager
  lookup warnings).
- Cleaned up spurious newlines, corrected indentations, and adjusted
  all commit titles to be shorter and more meaningful.
