Subject: [PATCH 0/5] rust: Add Per-CPU Variable API

This series adds an API for declaring an using per-CPU variables from
Rust, and it also adds support for Rust access to C per-CPU variables
(subject to some soundness requirements). It also adds a small test
module, lib/percpu_test_rust.rs, in the vein of lib/percpu_test.c.

Changes in RFC v2:
- Renamed PerCpuVariable to StaticPerCpuSymbol to be more descriptive
- Support dynamically allocated per-CPU variables via the
  PerCpuAllocation type. Rework statically allocated variables to use
  this new type.
- Make use of a token/closure-based API via the PerCpu and PerCpuToken
  types, rather than an API based on PerCpuRef that automatically
  Deref(Mut)'s into a &(mut) T.
- Rebased
- Link to RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241219-rust-percpu-v1-0-209117e822b1@gmail.com

---
Changes in v1:
- Use wrapping_add in `PerCpuPtr::get_ref` since overflow is expected.
- Separate the dynamic and static cases, with shared logic in a
  `PerCpuPtr` type.
- Implement pin-hole optimizations for numeric types
- Don't assume `GFP_KERNEL` when allocating the `Arc` in the dynamic
  case.
- Link to RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250414-rust-percpu-v2-0-5ea0d0de13a5@gmail.com
