Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rust: device_id: replace possible incorrect word in safety document

The safety documentation incorrectly refers to `RawDeviceId` when
transmuting to `RawType`. This fixes the documentation to correctly
indicate that implementers must ensure layout compatibility with
`RawType`, not `RawDeviceId`.
