From: Gary Guo <

Currently rustdoc will generate function names like
"_doctest_main__home_gary_Projects_linux_rust_kernel_io_rs_824_0" for a
doctest located at rust/kernel/io.rs:824, when building with separate
outdir using `O=`. This creates overlong symbol names and is also not
reproducible.
Fix it by doing a custom remapping to trim it to something like
`_doctest_main_rust_kernel_io_rs_824_0`.
