Linux kernel source tree

Checking that we are not missing any `// SAFETY` comments in our `unsafe` blocks is something we have wanted to do for a long time, as well as cleaning up the remaining cases that were not documented [1]. Back when Rust for Linux started, this was something that could have been done via a script, like Rust's `tidy`. Soon after, in Rust 1.58.0, Clippy implemented the `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` lint [2]. Even though the lint has a few false positives, e.g. in some cases where attributes appear between the comment and the `unsafe` block [3], there are workarounds and the lint seems quite usable already. Thus enable the lint now. We still have a few cases to clean up, so just allow those for the moment by writing a `TODO` comment -- some of those may be good candidates for new contributors.

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 reStructuredText 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.
