Subject: [PATCH] rust: sync: replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings

C-String literals were added in Rust 1.77. Replace instances of
`kernel::c_str!` with C-String literals where possible.

This is the same as my earlier change[0] but applies to additional
code[1] which didn't make it to mainline in a timely manner and is now
queued for v7.0.
