Merge all the slab patches previously collected on top of v6.10-rc1,
over cleanups/fixes that had to be based on rc6.

Slab allocators have been guaranteeing natural alignment for
power-of-two sizes since commit 59bb47985c1d ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee
natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), while any other sizes are
guaranteed to be aligned only to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN bytes (although
in practice are aligned more than that in non-debug scenarios).
Rust's allocator API specifies size and alignment per allocation, which
have to satisfy the following rules, per Alice Ryhl [1]:
1. The alignment is a power of two.
2. The size is non-zero.
3. When you round up the size to the next multiple of the alignment,
then it must not overflow the signed type isize / ssize_t.
In order to map this to kmalloc()'s guarantees, some requested
allocation sizes have to be padded to the next power-of-two size [2].
For example, an allocation of size 96 and alignment of 32 will be padded
to an allocation of size 128, because the existing kmalloc-96 bucket
doesn't guarantee alignent above ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Without slab
debugging active, the layout of the kmalloc-96 slabs however naturally
align the objects to 32 bytes, so extending the size to 128 bytes is
wasteful.
To improve the situation we can extend the kmalloc() alignment
guarantees in a way that
1) doesn't change the current slab layout (and thus does not increase
internal fragmentation) when slab debugging is not active
2) reduces waste in the Rust allocator use case
3) is a superset of the current guarantee for power-of-two sizes.
The extended guarantee is that alignment is at least the largest
power-of-two divisor of the requested size. For power-of-two sizes the
largest divisor is the size itself, but let's keep this case documented
separately for clarity.
For current kmalloc size buckets, it means kmalloc-96 will guarantee
alignment of 32 bytes and kmalloc-196 will guarantee 64 bytes.
This covers the rules 1 and 2 above of Rust's API as long as the size is
a multiple of the alignment. The Rust layer should now only need to
round up the size to the next multiple if it isn't, while enforcing the
rule 3.
Implementation-wise, this changes the alignment calculation in
create_boot_cache(). While at it also do the calulation only for caches
with the SLAB_KMALLOC flag, because the function is also used to create
the initial kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node caches, where no alignment
guarantee is necessary.
In the Rust allocator's krealloc_aligned(), remove the code that padded
sizes to the next power of two (suggested by Alice Ryhl) as it's no
longer necessary with the new guarantees.

When compiling for the `rusttest` target, the `core::ptr` import is
unused since its only use happens in the `reserve()` method which is
not compiled in that target:
warning: unused import: `core::ptr`
--> rust/kernel/alloc/vec_ext.rs:7:5
|
7 | use core::ptr;
| ^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unused_imports)]` on by default
Thus clean it.

Currently, a Vec<T>'s ptr value, after calling Vec<T>::new(), is
initialized to Unique::dangling(). Hence, in VecExt<T>::reserve(), we're
passing a dangling pointer (instead of NULL) to krealloc() whenever a new
Vec<T>'s backing storage is allocated through VecExt<T> extension
functions.
This only works as long as align_of::<T>(), used by Unique::dangling() to
derive the dangling pointer, resolves to a value between 0x0 and
ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x10) and krealloc() hence treats it the same as a NULL
pointer however.
This isn't a case we should rely on, since there may be types whose
alignment may exceed the range still covered by krealloc(), plus other
kernel allocators are not as tolerant either.
Instead, pass a real NULL pointer to krealloc_aligned() if Vec<T>'s
capacity is zero.

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports
[1], e.g.:
error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly
--> rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9
|
38 | use crate::bindings;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude
Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`.
Thus clean them up.
Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude"
above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

With the adoption of `BoxExt` and `VecExt`, we don't need the functions
provided by this feature (namely the methods prefixed with `try_` and
different allocator per collection instance).
We do need `AllocError`, but we define our own as it is a trivial empty
struct.

We also rename the methods by removing the `try_` prefix since the names
are available due to our usage of the `no_global_oom_handling` config
when building the `alloc` crate.

Make fallible versions of `new` and `new_uninit` methods available in
`Box` even though it doesn't implement them because we build `alloc`
with the `no_global_oom_handling` config.
They also have an extra `flags` parameter that allows callers to pass
flags to the allocator.

We'll use them when allocating `Box`, `Arc`, and `UniqueArc` instances,
as well as when allocating memory for `Vec` elements. These changes will
