[PATCH v2 1/3] rust: make mutually exclusive with CFI_CLANG

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

On RISC-V, and presumably x86/arm64, 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.

Fixes: 2f7ab1267dc9 ("Kbuild: add Rust support")

This probably needs to go to stable. The correct fixes tag for that I am
not sure of however, but since CFI_CLANG predates RUST, I blamed the
commit adding rust support.
