The dma_fence abstractions added by commit 3282d5916019 ("rust: Add
dma_fence abstractions") are compiled unconditionally, but the C
`dma_fence_*` symbols they reference live in
drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c, which is only built when
CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER=y. Kernels with CONFIG_RUST=y and
CONFIG_RUST_KERNEL_DOCTESTS=y but CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER=n fail
to link:

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: dma_fence_release
  >>> referenced by usercopy_64.c
  >>>               vmlinux.o:(rust_helper_dma_fence_put)
  ... dma_fence_signal{,_locked}, dma_fence_context_alloc,
      dma_fence_init, dma_fence_{add,remove}_callback ...

Wrap the dma_fence.c helper include in the same
`pub mod dma_buf;` in rust/kernel/lib.rs with a matching #[cfg].

Applied, thanks!

  Branch: drm-rust-next
  Tree:   https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/rust/kernel.git

[1/1] rust: dma_fence: gate abstractions on CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER
      commit: 73e5616f3d19

The patch will appear in the next linux-next integration (typically within 24
hours on weekdays).

The patch is queued up for the upcoming merge window for the next major kernel
release.

Oh dear, yes. Sorry about that, thx for fixing!
