rust: error: allow specifying error type on Result
Currently, if the `kernel::error::Result` type is in scope (which is often is, since it's in the kernel's prelude), you cannot write `Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when you want to use a different error type than `kernel::error::Error`. To solve this we change the error type from being hard-coded to just being a default generic parameter. This still lets you write `Result<T>` when you just want to use the `Error` error type, but also lets you write `Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when necessary.
