Subject: [PATCH] rust: hrtimer: declare cfi_encoding for hrtimer_restart

The hrtimer callbacks return bindings::hrtimer_restart, which bindgen
generates as c_uint. C calls them through hrtimer->function, which
returns enum hrtimer_restart. kCFI encodes enum types by name even with
integer normalization, so the type ids never match and every call fails
the CFI check.

Generate hrtimer_restart as a newtype with a cfi_encoding, as is done
for lru_status, and adapt HrTimerRestart to the newtype.
