Subject: [PATCH v9 0/4] rust: replace kernel::str::CStr w/ core::ffi::CStr
This picks up from Michal Rostecki's work[0]. Per Michal's guidance I
have omitted Co-authored tags, as the end result is quite different.

Closes: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1075

Changes in v9:
- Rebase on rust-next.
- Restore `impl Display for BStr` which exists upstream[1].
- Link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/bstr/struct.ByteStr.html#impl-Display-for-ByteStr [1]
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250203-cstr-core-v8-0-cb3f26e78686@gmail.com
Changes in v8:
- Move `{from,as}_char_ptr` back to `CStrExt`. This reduces the diff
some.
- Restore `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut`, `to_cstring`.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v7-0-da1802520438@gmail.com
Changes in v7:
- Rebased on mainline.
- Restore functionality added in commit a321f3ad0a5d ("rust: str: add
{make,to}_{upper,lower}case() to CString").
- Used `diff.algorithm patience` to improve diff readability.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v6-0-8469cd6d29fd@gmail.com
Changes in v6:
- Split the work into several commits for ease of review.
- Restore `{from,as}_char_ptr` to allow building on ARM (see commit
message).
- Add `CStrExt` to `kernel::prelude`. (Alice Ryhl)
- Remove `CStrExt::from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut` and restore
`DerefMut for CString`. (Alice Ryhl)
- Rename and hide `kernel::c_str!` to encourage use of C-String
literals.
- Drop implementation and invocation changes in kunit.rs. (Trevor Gross)
- Drop docs on `Display` impl. (Trevor Gross)
- Rewrite docs in the style of the standard library.
- Restore the `test_cstr_debug` unit tests to demonstrate that the
implementation has changed.
Changes in v5:
- Keep the `test_cstr_display*` unit tests.
Changes in v4:
- Provide the `CStrExt` trait with `display()` method, which returns a
`CStrDisplay` wrapper with `Display` implementation. This addresses
the lack of `Display` implementation for `core::ffi::CStr`.
- Provide `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut()` method in `CStrExt`,
which might be useful and is going to prevent manual, unsafe casts.
- Fix a typo (s/preffered/prefered/).
Changes in v3:
- Fix the commit message.
- Remove redundant braces in `use`, when only one item is imported.
Changes in v2:
- Do not remove `c_str` macro. While it's preferred to use C-string
literals, there are two cases where `c_str` is helpful:
- When working with macros, which already return a Rust string literal
(e.g. `stringify!`).
- When building macros, where we want to take a Rust string literal as an
argument (for caller's convenience), but still use it as a C-string
internally.
- Use Rust literals as arguments in macros (`new_mutex`, `new_condvar`,
`new_mutex`). Use the `c_str` macro to convert these literals to C-string
literals.
- Use `c_str` in kunit.rs for converting the output of `stringify!` to a
`CStr`.
- Remove `DerefMut` implementation for `CString`.
