Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] rust: types: remove temporary re-exports of ARef and AlwaysRefCounted

Remove the temporary re-exports of `ARef` and `AlwaysRefCounted`
from `types.rs` now that all in-tree users have been updated to
import them directly from `sync::aref`.

These re-exports were originally added to avoid breaking the
kernel build during the transition period while call sites were
incrementally migrated. With all users updated, they are no
longer needed.
