[PATCH 4.4 03/57] driver core: platform: fix race condition with driver_override

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Adrian Salido <salidoa@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6265539776a0810b7ce6398c27866ddb9c6bd154 upstream.

The driver_override implementation is susceptible to race condition when
different threads are reading vs storing a different driver override.
Add locking to avoid race condition.

Fixes: 3d713e0e382e ("driver core: platform: add device binding path 'driver_override'")
