[PATCH v5 6/7] rust: hrtimer: Add HrTimer::raw_cb_time()

From: Lyude Paul
Date: Fri Jun 13 2025 - 19:29:57 EST


This is a simple private unsafe wrapper for retrieving the current time
according to the hrtimer_clock_base struct for a given timer. This will be
used for implementing functions such as forward_now(), which rely on
retrieving the current time from the hrtimer's clock base.

V2:
- Convert safety comment to invariant comment in from_raw()
- Add raw_clock_base() and implement clock_base() on HrTimer<T> as well

V4:
- Drop HrTimerClockBase entirely, reword commit as this is now about adding
raw_cb_time()
