We can already create `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` instances with
`UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()` and write to them with `write()`. Add
the missing unsafe `assume_init()` function to promote it to
`UniqueArc<T>`, so users can do piece-wise initialization of the
contents instead of doing it all at once as long as they keep the
invariants (the same requirements as `MaybeUninit::assume_init()`).
This mirrors the std `Arc::assume_init()` function. In the kernel,
since we have `UniqueArc`, arguably this only belongs there since most
use cases will initialize it immediately after creating it, before
demoting it to `Arc` to share it.
[ Miguel: The "Rust pin-init API for pinned initialization of structs"
patch series [1] from Benno Lossin contains a very similar patch:
rust: sync: add `assume_init` to `UniqueArc`
Adds the `assume_init` function to `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` that
unsafely assumes the value to be initialized and yields a value of type
`UniqueArc<T>`. This function is used when manually initializing the
pointee of an `UniqueArc`.
To make that patch a noop and thus drop it, I adjusted the `SAFETY`
comment here to be the same as in the current latest version of
that series (v7).
I have also brought the `Reviewed-by`s there into here, and reworded
the `Co-authored-by` into `Co-developed-by`. ]

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
