[PATCH v3 1/2] usbip: usbip_host: fix null pointer dereference in rebind_store

[Jeffin Philip <jeffinphilip14@gmail.com>]

rebind_store drops locks to execute do_rebind which sleeps
during which time udev may become NULL due to physical disconnect.
Since this cannot be prevented and spinlocks cannot be obtained
in do_rebind, we turn towards the function that performs the
same action, drivers_probe, safely. Remove rebind_store and print a
warning to the user to use drivers_probe instead as a safer
alternative.

Changes in v3:
 - Addressed the race condition proposed by Greg KH in v2
   discussion.
Changes in v2:
 - Addressed concerns raised by the Greg KH in v1 discussion
   - Added usb_get_dev() to get a reference to udev preventing
     it from becoming null after the null check. Drop the reference
     after using it in do_rebind()
v1:
 - Initial patch with a udev null check that returns -ENODEV if udev
   is null.
