[PATCH v6 0/3] rust: miscdevice: add additional data to MiscDeviceRegistration

[Christian Schrefl <chrisi.schrefl@gmail.com>]

Currently there is no good way to pass arbitrary data from the driver to
a `miscdevice` or to share data between individual handles to a 
`miscdevice` in rust.

This series adds additional (generic) data to the MiscDeviceRegistration
for this purpose.

The first patch originally comes from my `UnsafePinned` patch series [0].

The second patch implements the changes and fixes the build of the sample
without changing any functionality (this is currently the only in tree 
user).

The third patch changes the `rust_misc_device` sample to use this to 
share the same data between multiple handles to the `miscdevice`.
I have tested the sample with qemu and the C userspace example
from the doc comments.

Some discussion on Zulip about the motivation and approach [1].
Thanks a lot to everyone helping me out with this.

This patch series is based on the v6.16-rc1 tag.
