[PATCH v3] rust: make mutually exclusive with CFI_CLANG

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley at microchip.com>

On RISC-V and arm64, and presumably x86, if CFI_CLANG is enabled,
loading a rust module will trigger a kernel panic. Support for
sanitisers, including kcfi (CFI_CLANG), is in the works, but for now
they're nightly-only options in rustc. Make RUST depend on !CFI_CLANG
to prevent configuring a kernel without symmetrical support for kfi.

Sending this one on its own, there's no explicit dep on this for the
riscv enabling patch, v3 to continue the numbering from there. Nothing
has changed since v2.
