Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rust: pin-init: improve safety documentation for `impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> for T`

The inner SAFETY comments were missing since commit 5cfe7bef6751 ("rust:
enable `clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks` lint").

Also rework the implementation of `__pinned_init` to better justify the
SAFETY comment.
