rust: kbuild: disambiguate zerocopy for rusttest

Browse source

Starting with Rust 1.76.0, `zerocopy` was added as an (indirect)
compiler dependency [1]. In turn, this meant that the `rustc-dev`
component started including a precompiled `zerocopy` crate in the sysroot.

This makes `rusttest` fail because the compiler finds several candidates:

    error[E0464]: multiple candidates for `rmeta` dependency `zerocopy` found
      --> rust/kernel/prelude.rs:64:9
       |
    64 | pub use zerocopy::{
       |         ^^^^^^^^
       |
       = note: candidate #1: .../lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libzerocopy-dfef4cb07ca752aa.rmeta
       = note: candidate #2: ./rust/test/libzerocopy.rlib

We cannot use `--sysroot=/dev/null` for these, thus point to the dependency
explicitly.

[ Investigated when it started happening, reworded to add that and to
  follow our usual style and sent on behalf of Antoni, who found this
