Subject: [PATCH 16/44] driver-core: fix race between device_register and driver_register

From: Sebastian Ott <sebott@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

When a device is registered to a bus it will be a) added to the list
of devices of the bus and b) bind to a driver (if one matches). As a
result of a driver being registered at this bus between a) and b) this
device could already be bound to a driver. This leads to a warning
and incorrect refcounting.
To fix this add a check to device_attach to identify an already bound
device.
