Panthor UAPI for DRM_IOCTL_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY allows userspace to provide
a smaller or larger buffer than the kernel needs. Revise Tyr's
implementation to match the expected UAPI behaviour.

Add a method to zero the remaining bytes in a UserSliceWriter.
If userspace provides a buffer that is larger than necessary, provide
a method to zero out the remaining UserSliceWriter buffer. This avoids
userspace consuming potentially uninitialized memory and/or mistaking it
for data intentionally provided by the kernel.
Use the #[inline] annotation to make this clear() method available for
inlining outside of the kernel crate.
Since clear_user() is architecturally defined and may be a macro or inline
function, add a rust helper to make clear_user() callable from rust.

Currently a UserPtr can be created from a usize integer representing a
userspace address. To create a UserPtr from a u64 integer, the u64 must
be cast to usize. On 32-bit systems, this cast will discard the upper 32
bits of the address.
Provide a new method to create a UserPtr from a u64 integer. This avoids
the caller having to cast before creating a UserPtr and also clarifies
that the truncation is intended. This is equivalent to the C-side
macro u64_to_user_ptr() that provides typechecking and casting to a __user
pointer.

Allow userspace to provide a buffer that is smaller or larger than the
object that the kernel expects to write into it.
Set a minimum buffer size to match those in PANTHOR_UOBJ_MIN_SIZE. If
userspace provides at least the minimum buffer size, then simply write
until the buffer is full.
If userspace provides a larger buffer than necessary, then zero out the
remaining buffer.
This ensures UAPI compatibility with Panthor.
