[PATCH 40/61] driver-core: do not register a driver with bus_type not registered

From: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com>

If the bus_type is not registerd, driver_register to that bus will cause oops.

I found this bug when test built-in usb serial drivers (ie. aircable driver)
with 'nousb' cmdline params.

In this patch:
1. set the bus->p=NULL when bus_register failed and unregisterd.
2. if bus->p is NULL, driver_register BUG_ON will be triggered.
