Sorry, but I have to ask, why a dual license here?  You are only linking
to GPL-2.0-only code, so why the different license?  Especially if you
used the GPL-2.0-only code to "translate" from.

If you REALLY REALLY want to use a dual license, please get your
lawyers to document why this is needed and put it in the changelog for
the next time you submit this series when adding files with dual
licenses so I don't have to ask again :)

As a new Rust kernel developper, Yiyang is working on EROFS Rust
userspace implementation too.

I think he just would like to share the common Rust logic between
kernel and userspace.  Since for the userspace side, Apache-2.0
or even MIT is more friendly for 3rd applications (especially
cloud-native applications). So the dual license is proposed here,
if you don't have strong opinion, I will ask Yiyang document this
in the next version.  Or we're fine to drop MIT too.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
