[PATCH v1] rust: bug: fix warn_on macro build error on UML

Callers that go through `kernel::prelude` have `CStrExt` in scope, but
code inside the `kernel` crate imports explicitly and may not. Using
`warn_on!` from such a module fails to build on UML, which is the only
configuration where `warn_flags!` needs a C string pointer rather than an
inline asm bug entry:

error[E0599]: no method named `as_char_ptr` found for reference `&ffi::CStr` in the current scope

    |         ------------------------ in this macro invocation
    |
    = help: items from traits can only be used if the trait is in scope
    = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::warn_flags` which comes from the expansion of the macro `warn_on` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z mac)
help: trait `CStrExt` which provides `as_char_ptr` is implemented but not in scope; perhaps you want to import it
   --> linux/rust/kernel/time.rs:27:1

 27 + use crate::str::CStrExt;

Use the free function `as_char_ptr_in_const_context()` instead, as other exported macros already do.
