Some kernel C API functions return a pointer which embeds an optional `errno`. Callers are supposed to check the returned pointer with `IS_ERR()` and if this returns `true`, retrieve the `errno` using `PTR_ERR()`. Create a Rust helper function to implement the Rust equivalent: transform a `*mut T` to `Result<*mut T>`. Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/linux, with subsequent refactoring and contributions squashed in and attributed below. Renamed the function to from_err_ptr().

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.
