[PATCH 6.12.y 31/60] rust: treewide: switch to our kernel `Box` type

[Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>]

From: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>

commit 8373147ce4961665c5700016b1c76299e962d077 upstream.

Now that we got the kernel `Box` type in place, convert all existing
`Box` users to make use of it.
