rust: sync: Implement Unpin for ARef

The default implementation of Unpin for ARef<T> is conditional on T
being Unpin due to its PhantomData<T> field. However, this is overly
strict as pointers to T are legal to move even if T itself cannot move.

Since commit 66f1ea83d9f8 ("rust: lock: Add a Pin<&mut T> accessor")
this causes build failures when combined with a Mutex that contains an
field ARef<T>, because almost any type that ARef is used with is !Unpin.
