rust: allow `stable_features` lint
Support for several Rust compiler versions started in commit 63b27f4a ("rust: start supporting several compiler versions"). Since we currently need to use a number of unstable features in the kernel, it is a matter of time until one gets stabilized and the `stable_features` lint warns. For instance, the `new_uninit` feature may become stable soon, which would give us multiple warnings like the following: warning: the feature `new_uninit` has been stable since 1.82.0-dev and no longer requires an attribute to enable --> rust/kernel/lib.rs:17:12 | 17 | #![feature(new_uninit)] | ^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: `#[warn(stable_features)]` on by default Thus allow the `stable_features` lint to avoid such warnings. This is the simplest approach -- we do not have that many cases (and the goal is to stop using unstable features anyway) and cleanups can be easily done when we decide to update the minimum version. An alternative would be to conditionally enable them based on the compiler version (with the upcoming `RUSTC_VERSION` or maybe with the unstable `cfg(version(...))`, but that one apparently will not work for the nightly case). However, doing so is more complex and may not work well for different nightlies of the same version, unless we do not care about older nightlies. Another alternative is using explicit tests of the feature calling `rustc`, but that is also more complex and slower.
