Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] rust: add `UnsafePinned` type

This version now only has the kernel implementation without the
config flag for using the upstream version. Additionally now
commits for using `UnsafePinned` in `Opaque` were added.

Checkpatch warns about `rust/kernel/types/unsafe_pinned.rs`
missing a MAINTAINERS entry. This should be fine because it
will be included in the RUST entry.

This patchset is based on the pin-init-next branch.
