Benno Lossin e832374cca rust: pin-init: change blanket impls for [Pin]Init and add one for Result<T, E>
Remove the error from the blanket implementations `impl<T, E> Init<T, E>
for T` (and also for `PinInit`). Add implementations for `Result<T, E>`.

This allows one to easily construct (un)conditional failing
initializers. It also improves the compatibility with APIs that do not
use pin-init, because users can supply a `Result<T, E>` to a  function
taking an `impl PinInit<T, E>`.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
