Introduced in Rust 1.69.0 [1], this lint prevents forgetting to set
the C ABI when using `#[no_mangle]` (or thinking it is implied).
For instance, it would have prevented the issue [2] fixed by commit
c682e4c37d ("rust: kernel: Mark rust_fmt_argument as extern "C"").
error: `#[no_mangle]` set on a function with the default (`Rust`) ABI

Thus enable it.
In rare cases, we may need to use the Rust ABI even with `#[no_mangle]`
(e.g. one case, before 1.71.0, would have been the `__rust_*`
functions). In those cases, we would need to `#[allow(...)]` the lint,
since using `extern "Rust"` explicitly (as the compiler suggests)
currently gets overwritten by `rustfmt` [3].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
