Subject: [PATCH v8 3/6] rust: enable `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut` lint

In Rust 1.66.0, Clippy introduced the `as_ptr_cast_mut` lint [1]:

> Since `as_ptr` takes a `&self`, the pointer won’t have write
> permissions unless interior mutability is used, making it unlikely
> that having it as a mutable pointer is correct.

There is only one affected callsite, and the change amounts to replacing
`as _` with `.cast_mut().cast()`. This doesn't change the semantics, but
is more descriptive of what's going on.

Apply this change and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
