rust: kbuild: skip `--remap-path-prefix` for `rustdoc`

Commit Message

`rustdoc` only recognizes `--remap-path-prefix` starting with
Rust 1.81.0, which is later than on minimum, so we cannot pass it
unconditionally. Otherwise, we get:

    error: Unrecognized option: 'remap-path-prefix'

Note that `rustc` (the compiler) does recognize the flag since a long
time ago (1.26.0).

Moreover, `rustdoc` since Rust 1.82.0 ICEs in out-of-tree builds when
using `--remap-path-prefix`. The issue has been reduced and reported
upstream [1].

Thus workaround both issues by simply skipping the flag when generating
the docs -- it is not critical there anyway.
