Boqun Feng 0aa2b78ce5 rust: Introduce file_from_location()
Most of kernel debugging facilities take a nul-terminated string for
file names for a callsite (generated from __FILE__), however the Rust
courterpart, Location, would return a Rust string (not nul-terminated)
from method .file(). And such a string cannot be passed to C debugging
function directly.

There is ongoing work to support a Location::file_with_nul() [1], which
returns a nul-terminated string from a Location. Since it's still
working in progress, and it will take some time before the feature
finally gets stabilized and the kernel's minimal rustc version might
also take a while to bump to a version that at least has that feature,
introduce a file_from_location() function, which returns a warning
string if Location::file_with_nul() is not available.

This should work in most cases because as for now the known usage of
Location::file_with_nul() is only in debugging code (e.g. might_sleep())
and there might be other information reported by the debugging code that
could help locate the problematic function, so missing the file name is
fine at the moment.

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.
