Subject: [PATCH v3 00/25] Generic `Allocator` support for Rust

Hi,

This patch series adds generic kernel allocator support for Rust, which so far
is limited to `kmalloc` allocations.

In order to abstain from (re-)adding unstable Rust features to the kernel, this
patch series does not extend the `Allocator` trait from Rust's `alloc` crate,
nor does it extend the `BoxExt` and `VecExt` extensions.

Instead, this series introduces a kernel specific `Allocator` trait, which is
implemented by the `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc` allocators, also
implemented in the context of this series.

As a consequence we need our own kernel `Box<T, A>` and `Vec<T, A>` types.
Additionally, this series adds the following type aliases:

```
pub type KBox<T> = Box<T, Kmalloc>;
pub type VBox<T> = Box<T, Vmalloc>;
pub type KVBox<T> = Box<T, KVmalloc>;


pub type KVec<T> = Vec<T, Kmalloc>;
pub type VVec<T> = Vec<T, Vmalloc>;
pub type KVVec<T> = Vec<T, KVmalloc>;
```

With that, we can start using the kernel `Box` and `Vec` types throughout the
tree and remove the now obolete extensions `BoxExt` and `VecExt`.

For a final cleanup, this series removes the last minor dependencies to Rust's
`alloc` crate and removes it from the entire kernel build.

The series ensures not to break the `rusttest` make target by implementing the
`allocator_test` module providing a stub implementation for all kernel
`Allocator`s.

This patch series passes all KUnit tests, including the ones added by this
series. Additionally, the tests were run with `kmemleak` and `KASAN` enabled,
without any issues.

This series is based on [1], which hit -mm/mm-unstable, and is also available
in [2].

Changes in v3:
 - Box:
   - minor documentation fixes
   - removed unnecessary imports in doc tests
   - dropeed `self` argument from some remaining `Box` methods 
   - implement `InPlaceInit` for Box<T, A> rather than specifically for `KBox<T>`
 - Vec:
   - minor documentation fixes
   - removed useless `Vec::allocator` method
   - in `Vec::extend_with` use `Vec::spare_capacity_mut` instead of raw pointer operations
   - added a few missing safety comments
   - pass GFP flags to `Vec::collect`
 - fixed a rustdoc warning in alloc.rs
 - fixed the allocator_test module to implement the `Allocator` trait correctly
 - rebased to rust-next

Changes in v2:
  - preserve `impl GlobalAlloc for Kmalloc` and remove it at the end (Benno)
  - remove `&self` parameter from all `Allocator` functions (Benno)
  - various documentation fixes for `Allocator` (Benno)
  - use `NonNull<u8>` for `Allocator::free` and `Option<NonNull<u8>>` for
    `Allocator::realloc` (Benno)
  - fix leak of `IntoIter` in `Vec::collect` (Boqun)
  - always realloc (try to shrink) in `Vec::collect`, it's up the the
    `Allocator` to provide a heuristic whether it makes sense to actually shrink
  - rename `KBox<T, A>` -> `Box<T, A>` and `KVec<T, A>` -> `Vec<T, A>` and
    provide type aliases `KBox<T>`, `VBox<T>`, `KVBox<T>`, etc.
    - This allows for much cleaner code and, in combination with removing
      `&self` parameters from `Allocator`s, gets us rid of the need for
      `Box::new` and `Box::new_alloc` and all other "_alloc" postfixed
      functions.
    - Before: `KBox::new_alloc(foo, Vmalloc)?`
    - After:  `VBox::new(foo)?`, which resolves to
              `Box::<Foo,  Vmalloc>::new(foo)?;
