[PATCH v2 2/4] rust: drm: gem: Add DriverObject type alias

Now that we've cleaned up the generics for gem objects a bit, we're still
left with a bit of generic soup around referring to the Object
implementation for a given driver. Let's clean this up a bit by re-using
the DriverObject identifier we just freed up and turning it into a type
alias for referring to a driver's gem object implementation.
