Introduce the VmallocPageIter type; an instance of VmallocPageIter may
be exposed by owners of vmalloc allocations to provide borrowed access
to its backing pages.
For instance, this is useful to access and borrow the backing pages of
allocation primitives, such as Box and Vec, backing a scatterlist.

In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_as_ptr` lint [1]:
> Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible,
> `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the
> pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`.
There are a few classes of changes required:
- Modules generated by bindgen are marked
`#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`.
- Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`.
- Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::<T>()`.
- Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are
replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::<T>`
according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is
required because `(x as *const _).cast::<T>()` results in inference
failure.
- Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`.
- `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut
T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing.
Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change
intended.

ISO C's `aligned_alloc` is partially implementation-defined; on some
systems it inherits stricter requirements from POSIX's `posix_memalign`.
This causes the call added in commit dd09538fb4 ("rust: alloc:
implement `Cmalloc` in module allocator_test") to fail on macOS because
it doesn't meet the requirements of `posix_memalign`.
Adjust the call to meet the POSIX requirement and add a comment. This
fixes failures in `make rusttest` on macOS.

Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates
the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types
instead of `core::ffi`.
This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit
yet.

So far the kernel's `Box` and `Vec` types can't be used by userspace
test cases, since all users of those types (e.g. `CString`) use kernel
allocators for instantiation.
In order to allow userspace test cases to make use of such types as
well, implement the `Cmalloc` allocator within the allocator_test module
and type alias all kernel allocators to `Cmalloc`. The `Cmalloc`
allocator uses libc's `realloc()` function as allocator backend.

Implement `Allocator` for `KVmalloc`, an `Allocator` that tries to
allocate memory with `kmalloc` first and, on failure, falls back to
`vmalloc`.
All memory allocations made with `KVmalloc` end up in
`kvrealloc_noprof()`; all frees in `kvfree()`.

`Allocator`s, such as `Kmalloc`, will be used by e.g. `Box` and `Vec` in
subsequent patches, and hence this dependency propagates throughout the
whole kernel.
Add the `allocator_test` module that provides an empty implementation
for all `Allocator`s in the kernel, such that we don't break the
`rusttest` make target in subsequent patches.
