commit a5a3c952e82c1ada12bf8c55b73af26f1a454bd2 upstream.
Currently while defining `THIS_MODULE` symbol in `module!()`, the
pointer used to construct `ThisModule` is derived from an immutable
reference of `__this_module`, which means the pointer doesn't have
the provenance for writing, and that means any write to that pointer
is UB regardless of data races or not. However, the usage of
`THIS_MODULE` includes passing this pointer to functions that may write
to it (probably in unsafe code), and this will create soundness issues.
One way to fix this is using `addr_of_mut!()` but that requires the
unstable feature "const_mut_refs". So instead of `addr_of_mut()!`,
an extern static `Opaque` is used here: since `Opaque<T>` is transparent
to `T`, an extern static `Opaque` will just wrap the C symbol (defined
in a C compile unit) in an `Opaque`, which provides a pointer with
writable provenance via `Opaque::get()`. This fix the potential UBs
because of pointer provenance unmatched.
