[PATCH 07/24] rust: platform: implement Sync for Device

Device<Bound> uses the same underlying struct platform_device as
Device<Normal>; Bound is a zero-sized type-state marker that does not
affect thread safety.

This is needed for drivers to store &'a platform::Device<Bound> in their
HRT private data while remaining Send.
