Subject: [PATCH] rust: bitmap: clean Rust 1.92.0 `unused_unsafe` warning

Starting with Rust 1.92.0 (expected 2025-12-11), Rust allows to safely
take the address of a union field [1][2]:

      CLIPPY L rust/kernel.o
    error: unnecessary `unsafe` block
       --> rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:169:13
        |
    169 |             unsafe { core::ptr::addr_of!(self.repr.bitmap) }
        |             ^^^^^^ unnecessary `unsafe` block
        |
        = note: `-D unused-unsafe` implied by `-D warnings`
        = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(unused_unsafe)]`

    error: unnecessary `unsafe` block
       --> rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:185:13
        |
    185 |             unsafe { core::ptr::addr_of_mut!(self.repr.bitmap) }
        |             ^^^^^^ unnecessary `unsafe` block

Thus allow both instances to clean the warning in newer compilers.
