Miguel Ojeda baf02dd01e rust: disable clippy::needless_continue 
commit 0866ee8e50 upstream.

Starting with Rust 1.86.0, Clippy's `needless_continue` lint complains
about the last statement of a loop [1], including cases like:

    while ... {
        match ... {
            ... if ... => {
                ...
                return ...;
            }
            _ => continue,
        }
    }

as well as nested `match`es in a loop.

One solution is changing `continue` for `()` [2], but arguably using
`continue` shows the intent better when it is alone in an arm like that.

Moreover, I am not sure we want to force people to try to find other
ways to write the code either, in cases when that applies.

In addition, the help text does not really apply in the new cases the
lint has introduced, e.g. here one cannot simply "drop" the expression:

    warning: this `continue` expression is redundant
      --> rust/macros/helpers.rs:85:18
       |
    85 |             _ => continue,
       |                  ^^^^^^^^
       |
       = help: consider dropping the `continue` expression
       = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_continue
       = note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::needless-continue`

The examples in the documentation do not show a case like this, either,
so the second "help" line does not help.

In addition, locally disabling the lint is not possible with `expect`,
since the behavior differs across versions. Using `allow` would be
possible, but, even then, an extra line just for this is a bit too much,
especially if there are other ways to satisfy the lint.

Finally, the lint is still in the "pedantic" category and disabled by
default by Clippy.

Thus disable the lint, at least for the time being.

Feedback was submitted to upstream Clippy, in case this can be improved
or perhaps the lint split into several [3].

README 

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.
