rust: alloc: implement VmallocPageIter

Introduce the VmallocPageIter type; an instance of VmallocPageIter may
be exposed by owners of vmalloc allocations to provide borrowed access
to its backing pages.

For instance, this is useful to access and borrow the backing pages of
allocation primitives, such as Box and Vec, backing a scatterlist.
