Patch Review

This is the key infrastructure patch. On the trait side, it auto-injects `t=
ype ThisModule: ::kernel::ModuleMetadata;` if the trait doesn't already def=
ine one. On the impl side, it auto-injects `type ThisModule =3D crate::Loca=
lModule;` if not explicitly provided.

```rust
// Trait side - handle_trait():
if !has_this_module {
    gen_items.push(parse_quote! {
        type ThisModule: ::kernel::ModuleMetadata;
    });
}
```

```rust
// Impl side - handle_impl():
if !defined_types.contains(&parse_quote!(ThisModule)) {
    gen_items.push(parse_quote! {
        type ThisModule =3D crate::LocalModule;
    });
}
```

**Observations:**

1. The duplicate-detection logic correctly scans trait items for `TraitItem=
::Type` and impl items for `ImplItem::Type` before deciding whether to inje=
ct.

2. The comment about `associated_type_defaults` being unstable (issue #2966=
1) is a good explanation for why this can't simply use a trait-level defaul=
t.

3. The `crate::LocalModule` resolution strategy is elegant =E2=80=94 in nor=
mal modules it resolves to the type alias set by `module!`, in doctests it =
resolves to the dummy struct added by patch 3.

4. One subtle point: any `#[vtable]` trait now *implicitly* requires that i=
ts implementor's crate have a `LocalModule` type in scope at the crate root=
. This is a new implicit contract. The cover letter and patch 1 establish t=
his via `module!`, and patch 3 handles doctests. But if someone writes a `#=
[vtable]` trait in a crate that doesn't use `module!` and isn't a doctest, =
they'll get a compile error about missing `crate::LocalModule`. This seems =
like an acceptable constraint given the kernel module context, but it might=
 be worth documenting.

**No issues found.**
