Subject: [PATCH 5/5] rust: devres: embed struct devres_node directly

Currently, the Devres<T> container uses devm_add_action() to register a
devres callback.

devm_add_action() allocates a struct action_devres, which on top of
struct devres_node, just keeps a data pointer and release function
pointer.

This is an unnecessary indirection, given that analogous to struct
devres, the Devres<T> container can just embed a struct devres_node
directly without an additional allocation.

In contrast to struct devres, we don't need to force an alignment of
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (as struct devres does to account for the worst case)
since we have generics in Rust. I.e. the compiler already ensures
correct alignment of the embedded T in Devres<T>.

Thus, get rid of devm_add_action() and instead embed a struct
devres_node directly.
