rust: device: implement Device::as_bound()

Provide an unsafe functions for abstractions to convert a regular
&Device to a &Device<Bound>.

This is useful for registrations that provide certain guarantees for the
scope of their callbacks, such as IRQs or certain class device
registrations (e.g. PWM, miscdevice).
