rust: sync: introduce CondVar

This is the traditional condition variable or monitor synchronisation
primitive. It is implemented with C's `wait_queue_head_t`.

It allows users to release a lock and go to sleep while guaranteeing
that notifications won't be missed. This is achieved by enqueuing a wait
entry before releasing the lock.

+/// A conditional variable.
+///
+/// Exposes the kernel's [`struct wait_queue_head`] as a condition variable. It allows the caller to
+/// atomically release the given lock and go to sleep. It reacquires the lock when it wakes up. And
+/// it wakes up when notified by another thread (via [`CondVar::notify_one`] or
+/// [`CondVar::notify_all`]) or because the thread received a signal. It may also wake up
+/// spuriously.
+///
+/// Instances of [`CondVar`] need a lock class and to be pinned. The recommended way to create such
+/// instances is with the [`pin_init`](crate::pin_init) and [`new_condvar`] macros.
+///

+///
+/// The following is an example of using a condvar with a mutex:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::sync::{CondVar, Mutex};
+/// use kernel::{new_condvar, new_mutex};
+///
+/// #[pin_data]
+/// pub struct Example {
+///     #[pin]
+///     value: Mutex<u32>,
+///
+///     #[pin]
+///     value_changed: CondVar,
+/// }
+///
+/// /// Waits for `e.value` to become `v`.
+/// fn wait_for_value(e: &Example, v: u32) {
+///     let mut guard = e.value.lock();
+///     while *guard != v {
+///         e.value_changed.wait_uninterruptible(&mut guard);
+///     }
+/// }
+///
+/// /// Increments `e.value` and notifies all potential waiters.
+/// fn increment(e: &Example) {
+///     *e.value.lock() += 1;
+///     e.value_changed.notify_all();
+/// }
