[PATCH 6.12.y] rust: allow `suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions` lint for Rust >= 1.98

[Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>]

Starting with Rust 1.98.0 (expected 2026-08-20), Rust is introducing a
couple new lints, `invalid_runtime_symbol_definitions` (deny-by-default)
and `suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions` (warn-by-default), which check
the signature of items whose symbol name is a runtime symbol expected by
`core`.

Our build hits the second one, i.e. the warning:

    error: suspicious definition of the runtime `strlen` symbol used by the standard library
         --> rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs:20018:5
          |
    20018 |     pub fn strlen(s: *const ffi::c_char) -> usize;
          |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          |
          = note: expected `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const i8) -> usize`
                  found    `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const u8) -> usize`
          = help: either fix the signature or remove any attributes like `#[unsafe(no_mangle)]`, `#[unsafe(export_name = "strlen")]`, or `#[link_name = "strlen"]`
          = help: allow this lint if the signature is compatible
          = note: `-D suspicious-runtime-symbol-definitions` implied by `-D warnings`
          = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions)]`

    error: suspicious definition of the runtime `strlen` symbol used by the standard library
         --> rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs:14236:5
          |
    14236 |     pub fn strlen(s: *const ffi::c_char) -> usize;
          |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          |
          = note: expected `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const i8) -> usize`
                  found    `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const u8) -> usize`
          = help: either fix the signature or remove any attributes like `#[unsafe(no_mangle)]`, `#[unsafe(export_name = "strlen")]`, or `#[link_name = "strlen"]`
          = help: allow this lint if the signature is compatible
          = note: `-D suspicious-runtime-symbol-definitions` implied by `-D warnings`
          = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions)]`

Thus `allow` the lint in `bindings` and `uapi`.

A more targeted alternative to avoid `allow`ing it would be to pass
`--blocklist-function strlen` to `bindgen`, but we would perhaps need
to adjust if other C headers end up adding more (or Rust checking more).
Since it is just the less critical one that we hit, and since eventually
this should be properly fixed by getting upstream Rust to provide a flag
like GCC/Clang's `-funsigned-char` [2][3], just `allow` it for now.
