This is a feature I found useful to have while writing Nova driver code
that accessed registers alongside other operations. I would find myself
quite confused about whether the guard was held or dropped at a given
point of the code, and it felt like walking through a minefield; this
pattern makes things safer and easier to read according to my experience
writing nova-core code.

Changes in v3:
- Add Acked-by from v2.

Changes in v2:
- Use FnOnce for the callback type.
- Rename to try_access_with.
- Don't assume that users will want to map failure to ENXIO and return
  an option.
- Use a single method and let users adapt the behavior using their own
  wrappers/macros.
