rust: sync: Add #[must_use] to Lock::try_lock()

The `Lock::try_lock()` function returns an `Option<Guard<...>>`, but it
currently does not issue a warning if the return value is unused.
To avoid potential bugs, the `#[must_use]` annotation is added to ensure
proper usage.

Note that `T` is `#[must_use]` but `Option<T>` is not.
For more context, see: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/71368.
