Currently, driver_match_device() is called from three sites. One site
(__device_attach_driver) holds device_lock(dev), but the other two
(bind_store and __driver_attach) do not. This inconsistency means that
bus match() callbacks are not guaranteed to be called with the lock
held.

Fix this by introducing driver_match_device_locked(), which guarantees
holding the device lock using a scoped guard. Replace the unlocked calls
in bind_store() and __driver_attach() with this new helper. Also add a
lock assertion to driver_match_device() to enforce this guarantee.

This consistency also fixes a known race condition. The driver_override
implementation relies on the device_lock, so the missing lock led to the
use-after-free (UAF) reported in Bugzilla for buses using this field.

Stress testing the two newly locked paths for 24 hours with
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled showed no UAF recurrence
and no lockdep warnings.
