Subject: [PATCH] rpmsg: core: fix race in driver_override_show() and use core
 helper

The driver_override_show function reads the driver_override string
without holding the device_lock. However, the store function modifies
and frees the string while holding the device_lock. This creates a race
condition where the string can be freed by the store function while
being read by the show function, leading to a use-after-free.

To fix this, replace the rpmsg_string_attr macro with explicit show and
store functions. The new driver_override_store uses the standard
driver_set_override helper. Since the introduction of
driver_set_override, the comments in include/linux/rpmsg.h have stated
that this helper must be used to set or clear driver_override, but the
implementation was not updated until now.

Because driver_set_override modifies and frees the string while holding
the device_lock, the new driver_override_show now correctly holds the
device_lock during the read operation to prevent the race.

Additionally, since rpmsg_string_attr has only ever been used for
driver_override, removing the macro simplifies the code.
