Subject: rust: types: implement `ForeignOwnable` for the unit type
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7118594466b8ed7285adb1dc177f2c84bfa33265;p=linux.git

rust: types: implement `ForeignOwnable` for the unit type

This allows us to use the unit type `()` when we have no object whose
ownership must be managed but one implementing the `ForeignOwnable`
trait is needed.
