driver core: Fix bus_type.match() error handling in __driver_attach()



commit 27c0d217 upstream.

When a driver registers with a bus, it will attempt to match with every
device on the bus through the __driver_attach() function. Currently, if
the bus_type.match() function encounters an error that is not
-EPROBE_DEFER, __driver_attach() will return a negative error code, which
causes the driver registration logic to stop trying to match with the
remaining devices on the bus.

This behavior is not correct; a failure while matching a driver to a
device does not mean that the driver won't be able to match and bind
with other devices on the bus. Update the logic in __driver_attach()
to reflect this.
