The `-> Result<(), impl core::fmt::Debug>` string is generated by rustdoc
and by adding "::" into the string it no longer finds anything, and making
the line useless.
Remove the "::" in the pattern. Omit it in the replacement too, for
consistency with upstream rustdoc.
Fixes: de7cd3e4d638 ("rust: use absolute paths in macros referencing core and kernel")

Changes in v2:
- Update comments too
- Stops using :: in the replacement too to be consistent with upstream
rustdoc

Currently rustdoc will generate function names like
"_doctest_main__home_gary_Projects_linux_rust_kernel_io_rs_824_0" for a
doctest located at rust/kernel/io.rs:824, when building with separate
outdir using `O=`. This creates overlong symbol names and is also not
reproducible.
Fix it by doing a custom remapping to trim it to something like
`_doctest_main_rust_kernel_io_rs_824_0`.

Changes in v2:
- Do an unconditional replacement to cover all cases.
