Re: [PATCH 2/2] rust: drop unnecessary lints caught by `#[expect(...)]`

We should avoid converting them into `expect` in the previous patch, because then it would break the build between the commits (it is not too critical if it is a Clippy one, but we still aim to keep builds Clippy clean).

In addition, the reasoning for each of these not being needed may not be immediately obvious (unlike other lint patches that follow all a pattern). So it would be best to split the patches into cases to explain each. For instance, this one is because with the new custom FFI mappings `c_long` is always `isize` now, which is always different from `c_int` (`i32`).

By the way, please Cc the rust-for-linux list too.

Thanks!
