[PATCH v3 0/5] rust: time: Convert hrtimer to use Instant and Delta

From: FUJITA Tomonori

Convert hrtimer to use `Instant` and `Delta`; remove the use of
`Ktime` from the hrtimer code, which was originally introduced as a
temporary workaround.

hrtimer uses either an `Instant` or a `Delta` as its expiration value,
depending on the mode specified at creation time. This patchset
replaces `HrTimerMode` enum with a trait-based abstraction and
associates each mode with either an `Instant` or a `Delta`. By
leveraging Rust's type system, this change enables `HrTimer` to be
statically associated with a specific `HrTimerMode`, the corresponding
`Instant` or `Delta`, and a `ClockSource`.

The `impl_has_hr_timer` macro is extended to allow specifying the
`HrTimerMode`. In the following example, it guarantees that the
`start()` method for `Foo` only accepts `Instant<Monotonic>`. Using a
`Delta` or an `Instant` with a different clock source will result in a
compile-time error:

struct Foo {
#[pin]
timer: HrTimer<Self>,
}

impl_has_hr_timer! {
impl HasHrTimer<Self> for Foo {
mode : AbsoluteMode<Monotonic>,
field : self.timer
}
}

This design eliminates runtime mismatches between expires types and
clock sources, and enables stronger type-level guarantees throughout
hrtimer.

This patchset can be applied on top of the typed clock sources patchset (v4):

- rebased on 6.16-rc1
- change impl_has_hr_timer! macro format
- remove define_hrtimer_mode! macro
- drop patch to change Delta's methods to take &self instead of self
- add patch to rename Delta's methods from as_* to into_*
