Series [v3,1/4] uuid: Add inline helpers to import / export UUIDs | expand

Commit Message

In some cases we would like to generate a GUID and export it.
Though it would require either casting to internal kernel types or
an intermediate buffer. Instead we may achieve this by supplying
a pointer to raw buffer and make a complimentary API to existing one
for UUIDs.
