wait_for_completion() can be used at various points in the code and it's
very hard to distinguish wait_for_completion()s between different usages.
Using a single dept_key for all the wait_for_completion()s could trigger
false positive reports.

Assign unique dept_key to each distinct wait_for_completion() caller to
avoid false positive reports.

While at it, add a rust helper for wait_for_completion() to avoid build
errors.

This will cause Rust code to share the same dept_key, so it will have all the
false positives that the change is trying to avoid.

Thank you for the input.

In general it is easy to create Rust bindings for static inline C functions
because it'll be just some computation, while creating bindings for C
function-like macros that define additional statics can be challenging.

Is dept_key similar to lock_class_key, where only the address matters? If so,
the approach that I use in
https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/DJP0CDOR98N5.29BK8PUFRWRUK@garyguo.net (local)

Yes, dept_key is similar to lock_class_key.  IIUC, the way you tried for
lock_class_key can be applied to DEPT too.  I will do:

   1) add 'key' parameter to sdt_might_sleep_start_timeout()
   2) introduce init_completion_dkey() to allow custom keys
   3) remove init_completion_dmap() and adjust the existing users

Just in case, it's worth noting that the custom keys must be
well-managed using e.g. dept_key_destroy() when the key gets freed.

could be used for dept_key as well, then we can keep Rust `wait_for_completion`
still a function; otherwise we have to turn it into a macro too on the Rust side
to create such statics, which isn't ideal.

Best,
Gary
