driver core: Pull required checks into driver_probe_device()



Checking if the dev is dead or if the dev is already bound is a required
precondition to invoking driver_probe_device(). All the call chains
leading here duplicate these checks.

Add it directly to driver_probe_device() so the precondition is clear and
remove the checks from device_driver_attach() and
__driver_attach_async_helper().

The other call chain going through __device_attach_driver() does have
these same checks but they are inlined into logic higher up the call stack
and can't be removed.

The sysfs uAPI call chain starting at bind_store() is a bit confused
because it reads dev->driver unlocked and returns -ENODEV if it is !NULL,
otherwise it reads it again under lock and returns 0 if it is !NULL. Fix
this to always return -EBUSY and always read dev->driver under its lock.

Done in preparation for the next patches which will add additional
callers to driver_probe_device() and will need these checks as well.
