The safety documentation incorrectly refers to `RawDeviceId` when
transmuting to `RawType`. This fixes the documentation to correctly
indicate that implementers must ensure layout compatibility with
`RawType`, not `RawDeviceId`.

Currently subject is

   [PATCH] rust: device_id: replace possible incorrect word in safety
documentation

After this is applied it does not make sense that there read "possible
incorrect". So just remove "possible" from subject.

I have said in other patches already but just to be clear use real name
in signed-off-by line.

On v2 you will have something like this after "---":

Changes in v2:
- Changed subject (Kari Argillander)
- Use real name in signed-off-by line (Kari Argillander)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/tencent_9F74630DC16B92484463BBC055DEB1F17306@qq.com/
