Subject: [GIT PULL] configfs for v6.16

Hi Linus,

This is my first pull request after picking up configfs [1], and my
first pull request to you. I hope I got everything right!

Summary
=======

This pull request contains configfs changes for v6.16:

 - Allow creation of rw files with custom permissions. This allows
   drivers to better protect secrets written through configfs.

 - Fix a bug where an error condition did not cause an early return
   while populating attributes.

 - Report ENOMEM rather than EFAULT when kvasprintf() fails in
   config_item_set_name().

 - Add a Rust API for configfs. This allows Rust drivers to use configfs
   through a memory safe interface.
