[PATCH v6 4/6] rust: xarray: Add support for index reservations

One often cannot allocate in the kernel with the desired flags, most
notably in atomic context. Pre-allocating the memory is the preferred
solution in such situations.

Add support for xa_reserve() in the Rust abstractions of xarray. Create
a Reservation object similar to a lock-guard, that can be dropped once
the reservation is no longer needed or once the index was stored to.

Please regard this more as an RFC.

I need pre-allocating in XArray for DmaFence. How exactly we achieve
this is open for discussion.
