Subject: [PATCH] rust: alloc: fix `rusttest` by providing `Cmalloc::aligned_layout` too

Commit fde578c86281 ("rust: alloc: replace aligned_size() with
Kmalloc::aligned_layout()") provides a public `aligned_layout` function
in `Kamlloc`, but not in `Cmalloc`, and thus uses of it will trigger an
error in `rusttest`.

Such a user appeared in the following commit 22ab0641b939 ("rust: drm:
ensure kmalloc() compatible Layout"):

    error[E0599]: no function or associated item named `aligned_layout` found for struct `alloc::allocator_test::Cmalloc` in the current scope
       --> rust/kernel/drm/device.rs:100:31
        |
    100 |         let layout = Kmalloc::aligned_layout(Layout::new::<Self>());
        |                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ function or associated item not found in `Cmalloc`
        |
       ::: rust/kernel/alloc/allocator_test.rs:19:1
        |
    19  | pub struct Cmalloc;
        | ------------------ function or associated item `aligned_layout` not found for this struct

Thus add an equivalent one for `Cmalloc`.

Danilo, as usual, please feel free to rebase if that is better.

Here I just copied the function, including comments, as-is, which maybe we want
to tweak. However, we may want to remove `allocator_test` soon anyway (this adds
to the justification for doing that, so that is good news :).

I am sending that one in parallel -- hopefully we can land that removal too in
this cycle, but meanwhile, we can put something like this in your branch.
