[PATCH] rust: disallow use of `CStr::as_ptr`

[Gary Guo <gary@kernel.org>]

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

As kernel always use unsigned char and not the platform ABI's default, an
user should always use `as_char_ptr` provided via `CStrExt` instead.
Therefore configure `disallow-methods` feature of clippy to catch incorrect
usage.
