Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] rust: replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings

This intentionally includes only those changes that can be taken through
the Rust tree. I will send separate patches after rc1 for the remaining
changes.

Changes in v3:
- Include all patches that can be taken through the rust tree.
- Split "sync" patch into "sync" and "workqueue". Kept the tags on both.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250925-core-cstr-cstrings-v2-0-78e0aaace1cd@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Rebase.
- Add two patches to address new code.
- Drop incorrectly applied Acked-by tags from Danilo.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250710-core-cstr-cstrings-v1-0-027420ea799e@gmail.com
