Most of kernel debugging facilities take a nul-terminated string for
file names for a callsite (generated from __FILE__), however the Rust
courterpart, Location, would return a Rust string (not nul-terminated)
from method .file(). And such a string cannot be passed to C debugging
function directly.
There is ongoing work to support a Location::file_with_nul() [1], which
returns a nul-terminated string from a Location. Since it's still
working in progress, and it will take some time before the feature
finally gets stabilized and the kernel's minimal rustc version might
also take a while to bump to a version that at least has that feature,
introduce a file_from_location() function, which returns a warning
string if Location::file_with_nul() is not available.
This should work in most cases because as for now the known usage of
Location::file_with_nul() is only in debugging code (e.g. might_sleep())
and there might be other information reported by the debugging code that
could help locate the problematic function, so missing the file name is
fine at the moment.
