Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] rust: error: Add missing wrappers to convert
 to/from kernel error codes

Hi everyone!

This series is part of the set of dependencies for the drm/asahi
Apple M1/M2 GPU driver.

It adds a bunch of missing wrappers in kernel::error, which are useful
to convert to/from kernel error codes. Since these will be used by many
abstractions coming up soon, I think it makes sense to merge them as
soon as possible instead of bundling them with the first user. Hence,
they have allow() tags to silence dead code warnings. These can be
removed as soon as the first user is in the kernel crate.

Getting this in first allows the subsequent abstractions to be merged in
any order, so we don't have to worry about piecewise rebasing and fixing
conflicts in the Error wrappers. See [1] for a complete tree with the DRM
abstractions and all other miscellaneous work-in-progress prerequisites
rebased on top of mainline.

Most of these have been extracted from the rust-for-linux/rust branch,
with author attribution to the first/primary author and Co-developed-by:
for everyone else who touched the code.

Attribution changes:
- One of the patches had Miguel's old email in the tags, updated that per
  his request.
- Wedson's email changed from @google.com to @gmail.com (I understand
  this is the current one).

Sven: There is one patch from you in this series, do you want to send it
yourself directly? I understand Wedson and Miguel are okay with me
sending stuff on their behalf.

Changes in v3:
- Re-introduced from_errno_unchecked() (but private to this module since
  it has no outside users) and used it in from_err_ptr().
- Updated safety comment in to_ptr().
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230224-rust-error-v2-0-3900319812da@asahilina.net

Changes in v2:
- Removed the redundant _kernel from various function names.
- Replaced the from_result!{} macro with a from_result() function taking a closure.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230224-rust-error-v1-0-f8f9a9a87303@asahilina.net
