[PATCH] Driver Core: fix bk-driver-core kills ppc64

There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which
could do bad things. The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match
a driver with a device already bound to one. In some cases (it appears with
USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a
device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID
devices) to match a device that is already bound.

The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then
driver_probe_device() does this:

dev->driver = NULL;

Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause
hell to break loose.

This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some
devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others.

Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash.
You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad
and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different
places.

The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against
2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following:

- Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns:
1 - If device is bound
0 - If device not bound, and no error
error - If there was an error.

- Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a
device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to
prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time).

- Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking.

- Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach()

- Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device
around all of the operations.

- Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an
internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other
callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as
necessary.
