[PATCH 3/7] drm/panic: prefer eliding lifetimes

[Thomas Böhler]

Eliding lifetimes when possible instead of specifying them directly is
both shorter and easier to read. Clippy notes this in the
`needless_lifetimes` lint:

    error: the following explicit lifetimes could be elided: 'b
       --> drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.rs:479:16

    479 |     fn new<'a, 'b>(segments: &[&Segment<'b>], data: &'a mut [u8]) -> Option<EncodedMsg<'a>> {

        = note: `-D clippy::needless-lifetimes` implied by `-D warnings`
        = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(clippy::needless_lifetimes)]`
    help: elide the lifetimes

    479 -     fn new<'a, 'b>(segments: &[&Segment<'b>], data: &'a mut [u8]) -> Option<EncodedMsg<'a>> {
    479 +     fn new<'a>(segments: &[&Segment<'_>], data: &'a mut [u8]) -> Option<EncodedMsg<'a>> {
        |

Remove the explicit lifetime annotation in favour of an elided lifetime.
