[PATCH 3/7] rust: mm: update ARef and AlwaysRefCounted imports from sync::aref

[PATCH 3/7] rust: mm: update ARef and AlwaysRefCounted imports from sync::aref

[Shankari Anand]

Update call sites in the mm subsystem to import `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` from `sync::aref` instead of `types`.

This aligns with the ongoing effort to move `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` to sync.

It part of a subsystem-wise split series, as suggested in:
https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/CANiq72=NSRMV_6UxXVgkebmWmbgN4i=sfRszr-G+x3W5A4DYOg@mail.gmail.com/T/#u
This split series is intended to ease review and subsystem-level maintenance.

The original moving patch is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250625111133.698481-1-shankari.ak0208@gmail.com/

Gradually the re-export from types.rs will be eliminated in the
future cycle.

I prefer not to grab a single patch from the middle of a series, so
please add

	Acked-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

and merge this alongside the remainder of that series, thanks.

This patch was sent standalone. The reason for the "3/7" suffix is that the
author wasn't aware that this should be avoided for independent patches.

It was previously part of a treewide series, where the treewide changes have
been decided to do in multiple cycles instead, such that each subsystem can pick
up the corresponding patches.
