[PATCH 0/2] rust: sync: Arc: Any downcasting and assume_init()

[Asahi Lina]

Hi everyone,

This short series is part of the set of dependencies for the drm/asahi
Apple M1/M2 GPU driver.

The two patches simply add two missing features to the kernel Arc
implementation which are present in the Rust std version: `Any`
downcasting and `assume_init()`.

I see, we cast the inner pointer of the `Arc` to the target type which
is wrapped in an `ArcInner` that is then used for another `Arc`. This is
important as this new value now owns the pointer and, by consequence,
it is safe to forget the passed `Arc` as it won't leak the pointer.
Thus, this method is safe.

[PATCH 2/2] rust: sync: arc: Add UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>::assume_init()

[Asahi Lina]

We can already create `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` instances with
`UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()` and write to them with `write()`. Add
the missing unsafe `assume_init()` function to promote it to
`UniqueArc<T>`, so users can do piece-wise initialization of the
contents instead of doing it all at once as long as they keep the
invariants (the same requirements as `MaybeUninit::assume_init()`).

This mirrors the std `Arc::assume_init()` function. In the kernel,
since we have `UniqueArc`, arguably this only belongs there since most
use cases will initialize it immediately after creating it, before
demoting it to `Arc` to share it.
