Subject: rust: mm: mark VmaNew as transparent
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2025 15:26:56 +0200

Unsafe code in VmaNew's methods assumes that the type has the same layout
as the inner `bindings::vm_area_struct`.  This is not guaranteed by the
default struct representation in Rust, but requires specifying the
`transparent` representation.
