[PATCH] driver core: bus: Mark an impossible error path with WARN_ON() in bus_add_driver()

[Zijun Hu]

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

driver_attach() called by bus_add_driver() always returns 0, so its
corresponding error path will never happen, hence mark the impossible
error path with WARN_ON() to remind readers to disregard it.
