Some kernel C API functions return a pointer which embeds an optional `errno`. Callers are supposed to check the returned pointer with `IS_ERR()` and if this returns `true`, retrieve the `errno` using `PTR_ERR()`. Create a Rust helper function to implement the Rust equivalent: transform a `*mut T` to `Result<*mut T>`. Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/linux, with subsequent refactoring and contributions squashed in and attributed below. Renamed the function to from_err_ptr().
