4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicolai Stange <nstange@xxxxxxx> commit 9561475db680f7144d2223a409dd3d7e322aca03 upstream. The driver_override implementation is susceptible to a race condition when different threads are reading vs. storing a different driver override. Add locking to avoid the race condition. This is in close analogy to commit 6265539776a0 ("driver core: platform: fix race condition with driver_override") from Adrian Salido.
