rust: device: fix device context of Device::parent()

Browse source

commit cfec502b3d upstream.

Regardless of the DeviceContext of a device, we can't give any
guarantees about the DeviceContext of its parent device.

This is very subtle, since it's only caused by a simple typo, i.e.

	 Self::from_raw(parent)

which preserves the DeviceContext in this case, vs.

	 Device::from_raw(parent)

which discards the DeviceContext.

(I should have noticed it doing the correct thing in auxiliary::Device
subsequently, but somehow missed it.)

Hence, fix both Device::parent() and auxiliary::Device::parent().
