Asahi Lina 31d95c2f99 rust: sync: arc: Add UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>::assume_init()

We can already create `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` instances with
`UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()` and write to them with `write()`. Add
the missing unsafe `assume_init()` function to promote it to
`UniqueArc<T>`, so users can do piece-wise initialization of the
contents instead of doing it all at once as long as they keep the
invariants (the same requirements as `MaybeUninit::assume_init()`).

This mirrors the std `Arc::assume_init()` function. In the kernel,
since we have `UniqueArc`, arguably this only belongs there since most
use cases will initialize it immediately after creating it, before
demoting it to `Arc` to share it.

[ Miguel: The "Rust pin-init API for pinned initialization of structs"
  patch series [1] from Benno Lossin contains a very similar patch:

    rust: sync: add `assume_init` to `UniqueArc`

    Adds the `assume_init` function to `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` that
    unsafely assumes the value to be initialized and yields a value of type
    `UniqueArc<T>`. This function is used when manually initializing the
    pointee of an `UniqueArc`.

  To make that patch a noop and thus drop it, I adjusted the `SAFETY`
  comment here to be the same as in the current latest version of
  that series (v7).

  I have also brought the `Reviewed-by`s there into here, and reworded
  the `Co-authored-by` into `Co-developed-by`. ]
