Sven Van Asbroeck 752417b3f0 rust: error: Add a helper to convert a C ERR_PTR to a Result
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().
