[PATCH 0/2] rust: debugfs: migrate BinaryWriter requirements to zerocopy

Migrates the `BinaryWriter` default implementation requirements from
`kernel::transmute::IntoBytes` to `zerocopy::Immutable` +
`zerocopy::IntoBytes`.

This is part of a bigger migration from rust/kernel/transmute.rs to the
zerocopy crate, see also [1] and [2]

[1] https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/975
[2] https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1241

The crate zerocopy was introduced with

c37398010a05 rust: zerocopy: import crate

This introduced among other things the `IntoBytes` trait that, when
derived, does better checks on the actual requirements of the types than
the existing `kernel::transmute::AsBytes`.

This is my first kernel patch so please let me know if I do anything wrong
process wise or regarding some other aspect!

There are some other points that I came across when investigating this

- rust/kernel/debugfs/traits.rs still depends on
  `kernel::transmute::AsBytes` for `BinaryReaderMut`.  Should I directly
  migrate this also in this patch series? This would require migrating also
  to `zerocopy::FromBytes` as the implemention for T depends on both
  `AsBytes + FromBytes` currently.
- I noticed that we could probably get rid of the `BinaryWriter`
  implementation for `Vec` altogether if we implemented `Immutable` and
  `IntoBytes` for `Vec`.  These are already implemented for [T] after
  all. What do you think?
