Subject: [PATCH 3/5] rust: error: Add to_result() helper

From: Wedson Almeida Filho <wedsonaf@...il.com>

Add a to_result() helper to convert kernel C return values to a Rust
Result, mapping >=0 values to Ok(()) and negative values to Err(...),
with Error::from_kernel_errno() ensuring that the errno is within range.

Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/rust, originally developed by Wedson
as part of the AMBA device driver support.
