I'm sorry, but I have to do another update. My usual workflow missed a
clippy warning because it depends on clippy warnings being treated as
errors when building with `W=e`. I forgot that is not upstream yet.

I added `#[allow(clippy::unnecessary_cast)]` to silence clippy in the
cases where the types match for `HrTimerRestart`.

The following changes since commit a64dcfb451e254085a7daee5fe51bf22959d52d3:

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Rust hrtimer API for v6.15

Introduce Rust support for the `hrtimer` subsystem:

 - Add a way to use the `hrtimer` subsystem from Rust. Rust code can now set up
   intrusive timers without allocating when starting the timer.

 - Add support for `Pin<Box<_>>`, `Arc<_>`, `Pin<&_>` and `Pin<&mut _>` as
   pointer types for use with timer callbacks.

 - Add support for setting clock source and timer mode.

`kernel` crate:

 - Add `Arc::as_ptr` for converting an `Arc` to a raw pointer. This is a
   dependency for the `hrtimer` API.

 - Add `Box::into_pin` for converting a `Box<_>` into a `Pin<Box<_>>` to align
   with Rust `alloc`. This is a dependency for the `hrtimer` API.
