This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3 lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other pointer casts weren't missed. The first commit reduces the need for pointer casts and is shared with another series[1]. The final patch also enables pointer provenance lints and fixes violations. See that commit message for details. The build system portion of that commit is pretty messy but I couldn't find a better way to convincingly ensure that these lints were applied globally. Suggestions would be very welcome.

(Boqun Feng) - Add documentation on stubs. (Benno Lossin) - Mark stubs `#[inline]`. - Pick up Alice's RB on a shared commit from https://lore.kernel.org/all/Z9f-3Aj3_FWBZRrm@xxxxxxxxxx/. - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250315-ptr-as-ptr-v4-0-b2d72c14dc26@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v4: - Add missing SoB. (Benno Lossin) - Use `without_provenance_mut` in alloc. (Boqun Feng) - Limit strict provenance lints to the `kernel` crate to avoid complex logic in the build system.
