Subject[PATCH v3 02/12] rust: error: improve unsafe code in example
From: Valentin Obst <kernel@valentinobst.de>

The `from_err_ptr` function is safe. There is no need for the call to it
to be inside the unsafe block.

Reword the SAFETY comment to provide a better justification of why the
FFI call is safe.
