[PATCH 11/14] rust: make `Arc::into_unique_or_drop` associated function

From: Gary Guo <[email protected]>

Make `Arc::into_unique_or_drop` to become a mere associated function
instead of a method (i.e. removing the `self` receiver).

It's a general convention for Rust smart pointers to avoid having
methods defined on them, because if the pointee type has a method of the
same name, then it is shadowed. This is normally for avoiding semver
breakage, which isn't an issue for kernel codebase, but it's still
generally a good practice to follow this rule, so that `ptr.foo()` would
always be calling a method on the pointee type.
