Subject: [PATCH] rust: device: allow `dead_code` for `Device<>::parent()`

When `CONFIG_AUXILIARY_BUS` is disabled, `parent()` is still dead code:

    error: method `parent` is never used
      --> rust/kernel/device.rs:71:19
       |
    64 | impl<Ctx: DeviceContext> Device<Ctx> {
       | ------------------------------------ method in this implementation
    ...
    71 |     pub(crate) fn parent(&self) -> Option<&Self> {
       |                   ^^^^^^
       |
       = note: `-D dead-code` implied by `-D warnings`
       = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(dead_code)]`

Thus reintroduce the `expect`, but now as an `allow`, and do so as
`dead_code` since that is narrower.

Fixes: ce735e73dd59 ("rust: auxiliary: add auxiliary device / driver abstractions")

I should have noticed this earlier, sorry. Please feel free to rebase to
fix it directly there if you prefer.
