Miguel Ojeda 7129ea6e24 rust: clean Rust 1.88.0's unnecessary_transmutes lint
Starting with Rust 1.88.0 (expected 2025-06-26) [1][2], `rustc` may
introduce a new lint that catches unnecessary transmutes, e.g.:

     error: unnecessary transmute
         --> rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs:23242:18
          |
    23242 |         unsafe { ::core::mem::transmute(self._bitfield_1.get(0usize, 1u8) as u8) }
          |                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: replace this with: `(self._bitfield_1.get(0usize, 1u8) as u8 == 1)`
          |
          = note: `-D unnecessary-transmutes` implied by `-D warnings`
          = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(unnecessary_transmutes)]`

There are a lot of them (at least 300), but luckily they are all in
`bindgen`-generated code.

Thus clean all up by allowing it there.

Since unknown lints trigger a lint itself in older compilers, do it
conditionally so that we can keep the `unknown_lints` lint enabled.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
