Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] rust: device: implement bus_type_raw()

Implement bus_type_raw(), which returns a raw pointer to the device'
struct bus_type.

This is useful for bus devices, to implement the following trait.

	impl TryFrom<&Device> for &pci::Device

With this a caller can try to get the bus specific device from a generic
device in a safe way. try_from() will only succeed if the generic
device' bus type pointer matches the pointer of the bus' type.
