device: rust: rename Device::as_ref() to Device::from_raw()

The prefix as_* should not be used for a constructor. Constructors
usually use the prefix from_* instead.

Some prior art in the stdlib: Box::from_raw, CString::from_raw,
Rc::from_raw, Arc::from_raw, Waker::from_raw, File::from_raw_fd.

There is also prior art in the kernel crate: cpufreq::Policy::from_raw,
fs::File::from_raw_file, Kuid::from_raw, ARef::from_raw,
SeqFile::from_raw, VmaNew::from_raw, Io::from_raw.
