This series adds a safe Rust API that allows Rust modules to interface
the `configfs` machinery.
The series contains an example for the samples folder to demonstrate
usage of the API. As such, there is no inline example in the
documentation.
The last patch adds a maintainer entry for the Rust configfs
abstractions, to make it absolutely clear that I will commit to maintain
these abstractions, if required. Feel free to drop this patch if this is
not required.
The series is a dependency of `rnull`, the Rust null block driver.
Please see [1] for initial `configfs` support in `rnull`.

Changes in v2:
- Remove generalization over pointer type and enforce use of `Arc`.
- Use type system to enforce connection between `ItemType` and
`Subsystem` or `Group`. Differentiate construction of vtables on this
type difference.
- Move drop logic of child nodes from parent to child.
- Pick `ForeignOwnable::PointedTo` patch as dependency instead of
including it here.
- Fix some rustdoc warnings.
- Use CamelCase for generic type parameter declaration.
- Destroy mutex in `Subsystem::drop`.
- Move `GroupOperationsVTable` struct definition next to implementation.
- Rebase on v6.14-rc1.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250131-configfs-v1-0-87947611401c@kernel.org
