The immediate motivation is the Tyr reset infrastructure [1] which needs
to serialize reset sensitive hardware access against reset and teardown
paths. That reset series started to require many independent dependencies
so this SRCU support is split out as a standalone Rust API to keep the
reset series focused on the reset logic and easier to review, rebase and
land.

Changes since v2:
- Removed closure-based API.
- Added #[doc(hidden)] on new_srcu macro.
- Added #[must_use..] on srcu::Guard.
- Improved the clean-up path (PinnedDrop implementation) which
eventually made read_lock safe with leaked guards.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260502162833.34334-1-work@onurozkan.dev
Changes since v1:
- Made the owned SRCU read-side guard API unsafe and added a safe closure
based helper for callers that do not need to keep the guard. This is to
avoid UB on the C side cleanup_srcu_struct where the SRCU struct is freed
while there are still active guards, which can happen if the caller leaks
the guard e.g., with mem::forget().
- Improved doc comments.
