Rename `as_ref` and `as_mut_ref` to `from_raw` and `from_raw_mut` to
align with the established naming convention for constructing types
from raw pointers in the kernel's Rust codebase.

Alice already pointed out this in v1 of the patch [1]. You need real name here.
So this probably needs be "Yilin Chen <...>". This also needs to be fixed in
other patches you have sent to the list.

This patch V2. Here after "---" you need to have changelog and usually it is
good idea to have link to old patch too. For new developers I personally suggest
to check b4 tool. That will make it easier to do new versions of patches.

Overall nice work and welcome to kernel Rust development.
