[PATCH v1 4/4] rust: hrtimer: Make HrTimer repr(transparent)

From: FUJITA Tomonori <[email protected]>

HrTimerCallbackContext acquires a &HrTimer<T> from a
NonNull<HrTimer<T>> while a &mut HrTimer<T> can exist at the same
time. This is sound only because HrTimer's sole field is
Opaque<bindings::hrtimer>, which puts every byte behind an UnsafeCell.
Adding a field to HrTimer that is not Opaque would make acquiring that
shared reference unsound.

Make HrTimer repr(transparent), which prevents multiple fields, so that
such a refactor fails to compile instead of silently introducing
unsoundness. This does not guarantee the remaining field stays behind
Opaque, but it rules out the likely way of getting there.

repr(transparent) cannot be combined with repr(C), so drop the latter.
