6.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 16c43a56b79e2c3220b043236369a129d508c65a upstream.
Even if normally `build_error` isn't a kernel object, it should still be treated as such so that we pass the same flags. Similarly, `rustdoc` targets are never kernel objects, but we need to treat them as such.
Otherwise, starting with Rust 1.91.0 (released 2025-10-30), `rustc` will complain about missing sanitizer flags since `-Zsanitizer` is a target modifier too [1]:
error: mixing `-Zsanitizer` will cause an ABI mismatch in crate `build_error` --> rust/build_error.rs:3:1 | 3 | //! Build-time error. | ^ | = help: the `-Zsanitizer` flag modifies the ABI so Rust crates compiled with different values of this flag cannot be used together safely = note: unset `-Zsanitizer` in this crate is incompatible with `-Zsanitizer=kernel-address` in dependency `core` = help: set `-Zsanitizer=kernel-address` in this crate or unset `-Zsanitizer` in `core` = help: if you are sure this will not cause problems, you may use `-Cunsafe-allow-abi-mismatch=sanitizer` to silence this error
Thus explicitly mark them as kernel objects.
