Subject: PCI: Fix race condition with driver_override

From: Nicolai Stange <nstange@suse.de>

commit 9561475db680f7144d2223a409dd3d7e322aca03 upstream.

The driver_override implementation is susceptible to a race condition when
different threads are reading vs. storing a different driver override.  Add
locking to avoid the race condition.

This is in close analogy to commit 6265539776a0 ("driver core: platform:
fix race condition with driver_override") from Adrian Salido.
