Subject: [PATCH] rust: miscdevice: change how f_ops vtable is constructed

I was helping someone with writing a new Rust abstraction, and we were
using the miscdevice abstraction as an example. While doing this, it
became clear to me that the way I implemented the f_ops vtable is
confusing to new Rust users, and that the approach used by the block
abstractions is less confusing.

Thus, update the miscdevice abstractions to use the same approach as
rust/kernel/block/mq/operations.rs.

Sorry about the large diff. This changes the indentation of a large
amount of code.
