Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rust: sync: arc: Add
 UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>::assume_init()

We can already create `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` instances with
`UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()` and write to them with `write()`. Add
the missing unsafe `assume_init()` function to promote it to
`UniqueArc<T>`, so users can do piece-wise initialization of the
contents instead of doing it all at once as long as they keep the
invariants (the same requirements as `MaybeUninit::assume_init()`).

This mirrors the std `Arc::assume_init()` function. In the kernel,
since we have `UniqueArc`, arguably this only belongs there since most
use cases will initialize it immediately after creating it, before
demoting it to `Arc` to share it.
