rust: device: fix device context of Device::parent()
Regardless of the DeviceContext of a device, we can't give any guarantees about the DeviceContext of its parent device. This is very subtle, since it's only caused by a simple typo, i.e. Self::from_raw(parent) which preserves the DeviceContext in this case, vs. Device::from_raw(parent) which discards the DeviceContext. (I should have noticed it doing the correct thing in auxiliary::Device subsequently, but somehow missed it.) Hence, fix both Device::parent() and auxiliary::Device::parent().
