driver core: generalize driver_override in struct device

Currently, there are 12 busses (including platform and PCI) that
duplicate the driver_override logic for their individual devices.

All of them seem to be prone to the bug described in [1].

While this could be solved for every bus individually using a separate
lock, solving this in the driver-core generically results in less (and
cleaner) changes overall.

Thus, move driver_override to struct device, provide corresponding
accessors for busses and handle locking with a separate lock internally.

In particular, add device_set_driver_override(),
device_has_driver_override(), device_match_driver_override() and
generalize the sysfs store() and show() callbacks via a driver_override
feature flag in struct bus_type.

Until all busses have migrated, keep driver_set_override() in place.

Note that we can't use the device lock for the reasons described in [2].
