Adds a wrapper around `kuid_t` called `Kuid`. This allows us to define
various operations on kuids such as equality and current_euid. It also
lets us provide conversions from kuid into userspace values.
Rust Binder needs these operations because it needs to compare kuids for
equality, and it needs to tell userspace about the pid and uid of
incoming transactions.
To read kuids from a `struct task_struct`, you must currently use
various #defines that perform the appropriate field access under an RCU
read lock. Currently, we do not have a Rust wrapper for rcu_read_lock,
which means that for this patch, there are two ways forward:
1. Inline the methods into Rust code, and use __rcu_read_lock directly
rather than the rcu_read_lock wrapper. This gives up lockdep for
these usages of RCU.
2. Wrap the various #defines in helpers and call the helpers from Rust.
This patch uses the second option. One possible disadvantage of the
second option is the possible introduction of speculation gadgets, but
as discussed in [1], the risk appears to be acceptable.
Of course, once a wrapper for rcu_read_lock is available, it is
preferable to use that over either of the two above approaches.

Add an abstraction for viewing the string representation of a security
context.
This is needed by Rust Binder because it has a feature where a process
can view the string representation of the security context for incoming
transactions. The process can use that to authenticate incoming
transactions, and since the feature is provided by the kernel, the
process can trust that the security context is legitimate.
This abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side:
* When a call to `security_secid_to_secctx` is successful, it returns a
pointer and length. The pointer references a byte string and is valid
for reading for that many bytes.
* The string may be referenced until `security_release_secctx` is
called.
* If CONFIG_SECURITY is set, then the three methods mentioned in
rust/helpers are available without a helper. (That is, they are not a
#define or `static inline`.)

Add a wrapper around `struct cred` called `Credential`, and provide
functionality to get the `Credential` associated with a `File`.
Rust Binder must check the credentials of processes when they attempt to
perform various operations, and these checks usually take a
`&Credential` as parameter. The security_binder_set_context_mgr function
would be one example. This patch is necessary to access these security_*
methods from Rust.
This Rust abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side:
* `struct cred` is refcounted with `get_cred`/`put_cred`.
* It's okay to transfer a `struct cred` across threads, that is, you do
not need to call `put_cred` on the same thread as where you called
`get_cred`.
* The `euid` field of a `struct cred` never changes after
initialization.
* The `f_cred` field of a `struct file` never changes after
initialization.

This abstraction makes it possible to manipulate the open files for a
process. The new `File` struct wraps the C `struct file`. When accessing
it using the smart pointer `ARef<File>`, the pointer will own a
reference count to the file. When accessing it as `&File`, then the
reference does not own a refcount, but the borrow checker will ensure
that the reference count does not hit zero while the `&File` is live.
Since this is intended to manipulate the open files of a process, we
introduce an `fget` constructor that corresponds to the C `fget`
method. In future patches, it will become possible to create a new fd in
a process and bind it to a `File`. Rust Binder will use these to send
fds from one process to another.
We also provide a method for accessing the file's flags. Rust Binder
will use this to access the flags of the Binder fd to check whether the
non-blocking flag is set, which affects what the Binder ioctl does.
This introduces a struct for the EBADF error type, rather than just
using the Error type directly. This has two advantages:
* `File::fget` returns a `Result<ARef<File>, BadFdError>`, which the
compiler will represent as a single pointer, with null being an error.
This is possible because the compiler understands that `BadFdError`
has only one possible value, and it also understands that the
`ARef<File>` smart pointer is guaranteed non-null.
* Additionally, we promise to users of the method that the method can
only fail with EBADF, which means that they can rely on this promise
without having to inspect its implementation.
That said, there are also two disadvantages:
* Defining additional error types involves boilerplate.
* The question mark operator will only utilize the `From` trait once,
which prevents you from using the question mark operator on
`BadFdError` in methods that return some third error type that the
kernel `Error` is convertible into. (However, it works fine in methods
that return `Error`.)

In case CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled __mutex_init() becomes a macro
instead of an extern function (simplified from
include/linux/mutex.h):
#ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
extern void __mutex_init(struct mutex *lock, const char *name,
struct lock_class_key *key);
#else
#define __mutex_init(mutex, name, key) \
do { \
rt_mutex_base_init(&(mutex)->rtmutex); \
__mutex_rt_init((mutex), name, key); \
} while (0)
#endif
The macro isn't resolved by bindgen, then. What results in a build
error:
error[E0425]: cannot find function `__mutex_init` in crate `bindings`
--> rust/kernel/sync/lock/mutex.rs:104:28

Fix this by adding a helper.
As explained by Gary Guo in [1] no #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT

This patch splits up the rust helpers C file. When rebasing patch sets on
upstream linux, merge conflicts in helpers.c is common and time consuming
[1]. Thus, split the file so that each kernel component can live in a
separate file.
This patch lists helper files explicitly and thus conflicts in the file
list is still likely. However, they should be more simple to resolve than
the conflicts usually seen in helpers.c.
[ Removed `README.md` and undeleted the original comment since now,
in v3 of the series, we have a `helpers.c` again; which also allows
us to keep the "Sorted alphabetically" line and makes the diff easier.
In addition, updated the Documentation/ mentions of the file, reworded
title and removed blank lines at the end of `page.c`. - Miguel ]
