Adds a wrapper around `kuid_t` called `Kuid`. This allows us to define
various operations on kuids such as equality and current_euid. It also
lets us provide conversions from kuid into userspace values.
Rust Binder needs these operations because it needs to compare kuids for
equality, and it needs to tell userspace about the pid and uid of
incoming transactions.
To read kuids from a `struct task_struct`, you must currently use
various #defines that perform the appropriate field access under an RCU
read lock. Currently, we do not have a Rust wrapper for rcu_read_lock,
which means that for this patch, there are two ways forward:
1. Inline the methods into Rust code, and use __rcu_read_lock directly
rather than the rcu_read_lock wrapper. This gives up lockdep for
these usages of RCU.
2. Wrap the various #defines in helpers and call the helpers from Rust.
This patch uses the second option. One possible disadvantage of the
second option is the possible introduction of speculation gadgets, but
as discussed in [1], the risk appears to be acceptable.
Of course, once a wrapper for rcu_read_lock is available, it is
preferable to use that over either of the two above approaches.

This removes the need to explicitly export all symbols.
Generate helper exports similarly to what's currently done for Rust
crates. These helpers are exclusively called from within Rust code and
therefore can be treated similar as other Rust symbols.

[ Fixed dependency path, reworded slightly, edited comment a bit and
rebased on top of the changes made when applying Andreas' patch
(e.g. no `README.md` anymore, so moved the edits). - Miguel ]

This patch splits up the rust helpers C file. When rebasing patch sets on
upstream linux, merge conflicts in helpers.c is common and time consuming
[1]. Thus, split the file so that each kernel component can live in a
separate file.
This patch lists helper files explicitly and thus conflicts in the file
list is still likely. However, they should be more simple to resolve than
the conflicts usually seen in helpers.c.
[ Removed `README.md` and undeleted the original comment since now,
in v3 of the series, we have a `helpers.c` again; which also allows
us to keep the "Sorted alphabetically" line and makes the diff easier.
In addition, updated the Documentation/ mentions of the file, reworded
title and removed blank lines at the end of `page.c`. - Miguel ]
