rust: kbuild: give --config-path to rustfmt in .rsi target

`rustfmt` is configured via the `.rustfmt.toml` file in the source tree,
and we apply `rustfmt` to the macro expanded sources generated by the
`.rsi` target.

However, under an `O=` pointing to an external folder (i.e. not just
a subdir), `rustfmt` will not find the file when checking the parent
folders. Since the edition is configured in this file, this can lead to
errors when it encounters newer syntax, e.g.

    error: expected one of `!`, `.`, `::`, `;`, `?`, `where`, `{`, or an operator, found `"rust_minimal"`

       = note: you may be trying to write a c-string literal
       = note: c-string literals require Rust 2021 or later
       = help: pass `--edition 2024` to `rustc`
       = note: for more on editions, read https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide

A workaround is to use `RUSTFMT=n`, which is documented in the `Makefile`
help for cases where macro expanded source may happen to break `rustfmt`
for other reasons, but this is not one of those cases.

One solution would be to pass `--edition`, but we want `rustfmt` to
use the entire configuration, even if currently we essentially use the
default configuration.

Thus explicitly give the path to the config file to `rustfmt` instead.
