Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: macros: fix soundness issue in `module!` macro
The `module!` macro creates glue code that are called by C to initialize
the Rust modules using the `Module::init` function. Part of this glue
code are the local functions `__init` and `__exit` that are used to
initialize/destroy the Rust module.
These functions are safe and also visible to the Rust mod in which the
`module!` macro is invoked. This means that they can be called by other
safe Rust code. But since they contain `unsafe` blocks that rely on only
being called at the right time, this is a soundness issue.
Wrap these generated functions inside of two private modules, this
guarantees that the public functions cannot be called from the outside.
Make the safe functions `unsafe` and add SAFETY comments.
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Closes: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/629
Fixes: 1fbde52bde73 ("rust: add `macros` crate")

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240327160346.22442-1-benno.lossin@proton.me/
v1 -> v2:
- wrapped `__init` and `__exit` calls in `unsafe` blocks and added
SAFETY comments,
- fixed safety requirement on `__exit` and `__init`,
- rebased onto rust-next.
