[PATCH v1] rust: add mark_used macro

[FUJITA Tomonori <tomo@flapping.org>]

From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>

Macros whose expansion depends on the kernel configuration end up
ignoring some of their arguments, resulting in unused warnings.

Add a macro for the `if false { _ = ...; }` idiom used to avoid them,
and convert the existing open-coded users in `warn_flags!` and
`declare_trace!`.
