Subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] rust: percpu: Support non-zeroable types for
DynamicPerCpu
Add functionality to `PerCpuPtr` to compute pointers to per-CPU variable
slots on other CPUs. Use this facility to initialize per-CPU variables
on all possible CPUs when a dynamic per-CPU variable is created with a
non-zeroable type. Since `RefCell` and other `Cell`-like types fall into
this category, `impl CheckedPerCpu` on `DynamicPerCpu` for these
`InteriorMutable` types since they can now be used. Add examples of
these usages to `samples/rust/rust_percpu.rs`.
