Miguel Ojeda 425e10586c rust: zerocopy: update to v0.8.54
Update our vendored copy of `zerocopy` (and `zerocopy-derive`) to v0.8.54.

It is a very small delta from v0.8.52, and most importantly it resolves
the unexpected lack of inlining [1] which triggered a modpost error
under `CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y` reported by Alexandre using Gary's
suggestion [2]:

    ERROR: modpost: "_RNvMNtCs5wX7wwEUCR9_8zerocopy6layoutNtB2_8SizeInfo24try_to_nonzero_elem_size" [drivers/gpu/nova-core.ko] undefined!
    ERROR: modpost: "_RNvNtCs5wX7wwEUCR9_8zerocopy4util18padding_needed_for" [drivers/gpu/nova-core.ko] undefined!

It also resolves `most_traits` being unexpectedly documented [3] that I
reported and adds a missing SPDX license identifier [4] that I requested
to match the kernel version.

The following script may be used to check for the remaining differences:

    for path in $(cd rust/zerocopy-derive/ && find . -type f ! -name README.md); do
        curl --silent --show-error --location \
            https://github.com/google/zerocopy/raw/v0.8.54/zerocopy/zerocopy-derive/src/$path |
            git diff --no-index - rust/zerocopy-derive/$path &&
            echo $path: OK
    done

    for path in $(cd rust/zerocopy/ && find . -type f ! -name README.md); do
        curl --silent --show-error --location \
            https://github.com/google/zerocopy/raw/v0.8.54/zerocopy/$path |
            git diff --no-index - rust/zerocopy/$path &&
            echo $path: OK
    done

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
