[PATCH] rust: remove leftover mentions of the `alloc` crate

[Miguel Ojeda]

In commit 392e34b6bc22 ("kbuild: rust: remove the `alloc` crate and
`GlobalAlloc`") we stopped using the upstream `alloc` crate.

Thus remove a few leftover mentions treewide.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # Also to 6.12.y after the `alloc` backport lands
