drm/nova: use `zerocopy` in booter.rs
In firmware/booter.rs, replace the following `transmute` traits with
their `zerocopy` equivalents:
- `transmute::FromBytes` -> `zerocopy::FromBytes`
Update call sites accordingly.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but I noticed a pre-existing issue
in signatures_iter().
If a malformed firmware file provides a num_sig greater than sig_prod_size
(but not 0), sig_size will evaluate to 0 because integer division truncates
towards zero.
Calling chunks_exact() with a chunk size of 0 triggers a kernel panic:
drivers/gpu/nova-core/firmware/booter.rs:signatures_iter() {
...
self.fw
// Get signatures range.
.get(signatures_start..signatures_end)
.ok_or(EINVAL)?
.chunks_exact(sig_size.into_safe_cast())
...
}
Could this allow a local user who controls the firmware image or triggers
its loading to crash the kernel?
