rust: start using the #[expect(...)] attribute

In Rust, it is possible to `allow` particular warnings (diagnostics,
lints) locally, making the compiler ignore instances of a given warning
within a given function, module, block, etc.

It is similar to `#pragma GCC diagnostic push` + `ignored` + `pop` in C:

    #pragma GCC diagnostic push
    #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
    static void f(void) {}
    #pragma GCC diagnostic pop

But way less verbose:

    #[allow(dead_code)]
    fn f() {}

By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more
diagnostics by default (i.e. outside `W=` levels) that may have some
false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to
catch potential mistakes.

The `#[expect(...)]` attribute [1] takes this further, and makes the
compiler warn if the diagnostic was _not_ produced. For instance, the
following will ensure that, when `f()` is called somewhere, we will have
to remove the attribute:

    #[expect(dead_code)]
    fn f() {}

If we do not, we get a warning from the compiler:

    warning: this lint expectation is unfulfilled
     --> x.rs:3:10
      |
    3 | #[expect(dead_code)]
      |          ^^^^^^^^^
      |
      = note: `#[warn(unfulfilled_lint_expectations)]` on by default

This means that `expect`s do not get forgotten when they are not needed.

See the next commit for more details, nuances on its usage and
documentation on the feature.

The attribute requires the `lint_reasons` [2] unstable feature, but it
is becoming stable in 1.81.0 (to be released on 2024-09-05) and it has
already been useful to clean things up in this patch series, finding
cases where the `allow`s should not have been there.

Thus, enable `lint_reasons` and convert some of our `allow`s to `expect`s
where possible.

This feature was also an example of the ongoing collaboration between
Rust and the kernel -- we tested it in the kernel early on and found an
issue that was quickly resolved [3].
