[PATCH] driver core: reject devices with unregistered buses

[Johan Hovold]

Trying to register a device on a bus which has not yet been registered
used to trigger a NULL-pointer dereference, but since the const bus
structure rework registration instead succeeds without the device being
added to the bus.

Reject devices with unregistered buses to catch any callers that get
the ordering wrong and to handle bus registration failures more
gracefully.
