Subject: [PATCH v3] rust: Kbuild: Skip -fmin-function-alignment in bindgen flags

GCC 14 recently added -fmin-function-alignment option and the
root Makefile uses it to replace -falign-functions when available.
However, this flag can cause issues when passed to the Rust
Makefile and affect the bindgen process. Bindgen relies on
libclang to parse C code, and currently does not support the
-fmin-function-alignment flag, leading to compilation failures
when GCC 14 is used.

This patch addresses the issue by adding -fmin-function-alignment
to the bindgen_skip_c_flags in rust/Makefile. This prevents the
flag from causing compilation issues.

Since -falign-functions does not affect bindgen output, we do not
need logic to add it back to the flags. Thanks to the community's
help, especially Miguel Ojeda. Hope this patch is free of problems
and can be submitted smoothly : )

v1:
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240730222053.37066-1-zehuixu@whu.edu.cn/

v2:
* Added -falign-functions to bindgen_extra_c_flags when skipping 
  -fmin-function-alignment to maintain function alignment settings in GCC 14
* Used reasonable length and moved email content out of the commit message
* Used "Link" tag instead of "Reference:" and removed empty lines between tags
* Specified the base commit
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240731034112.6060-1-zehuixu@whu.edu.cn/

v3:
* Removed logic from patch v2 which adds -falign-functions
