kbuild: rust: allow `clippy::uninlined_format_args`

Clippy in Rust 1.88.0 (only) reports [1]:

The reason it only triggers in that version is that the lint was moved
from `pedantic` to `style` in Rust 1.88.0 and then back to `pedantic`
in Rust 1.89.0 [2][3].

In the first case, the suggestion is fair and a pure simplification, thus
we will clean it up separately.

To keep the behavior the same across all versions, and since the lint
does not work for all macros (e.g. custom ones like `pr_info!`), disable
it globally.
