[PATCH v8 2/6] rust: debugfs: Bind file creation for long-lived Display

[Matthew Maurer <mmaurer@google.com>]

Allows creation of files for references that live forever and lack
metadata through the `Display` implementation.

The `Display` implementation is used because `seq_printf` needs to route
through `%pA`, which in turn routes through Arguments.
