[PATCH] rust: kernel: fix lifetime of copy_from_iter_raw

[Marwan Mohamed Zein]

From: martell0x1 <marawanzein222@gmail.com>

The returned slice is derived from `out`, but lifetime elision
ties it to `self` because this is a method. Explicitly bind the
return lifetime to `out` so the returned slice cannot outlive
its backing buffer.
