[PATCH v2 10/12] rust: Add dma_buf stub bindings

In order to implement the gem export callback, we need a type to represent
struct dma_buf. So - this commit introduces a set of stub bindings for
dma_buf. These bindings provide a ref-counted DmaBuf object, but don't
currently implement any functionality for using the DmaBuf.
