rust: error: Add Error::from_errno{_unchecked}()

Add a function to create `Error` values out of a kernel error return,
which safely upholds the invariant that the error code is well-formed
(negative and greater than -MAX_ERRNO). If a malformed code is passed
in, it will be converted to EINVAL.

Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/rust as authored by Miguel and Fox
with refactoring from Wedson, renamed from_kernel_errno() to
from_errno().
