rust: types: implement ForeignOwnable for ARef<T>

Implement ForeignOwnable for ARef<T>, making it possible for C code to
own an ARef<T>.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but should into_foreign(), from_foreign(), borrow(),
and borrow_mut() be annotated with #[inline]?

The Rust subsystem guidelines suggest that small or forwarding functions
in kernel abstractions should use the #[inline] attribute.
