[PATCH 00/10] rust: refactor ARef and AlwaysRefCounted imports

This series updates the import sites of `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` in the Rust kernel code to use `sync::aref` instead
of the previous `types` module.

The refactor to `sync::aref` from `types::` was introduced in the commit:
commit 07dad44aa9a9
("rust: kernel: move ARef and AlwaysRefCounted to sync::aref")
link [1]

The goal of this series is to complete the migration of these
types to `sync`, as discussed with Miguel Ojeda [2].
The last commit in this series removes the temporary re-exports
from `types.rs` that were originally added to avoid breaking the
build during the transition.
