Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan efb5f7b106 drivers: base: Fix NULL pointer exception in __platform_driver_probe() if a driver developer is foolish 
[ Upstream commit 388bcc6ecc ]

If platform bus driver registration is failed then, accessing
platform bus spin lock (&drv->driver.bus->p->klist_drivers.k_lock)
in __platform_driver_probe() without verifying the return value
__platform_driver_register() can lead to NULL pointer exception.

So check the return value before attempting the spin lock.

One such example is below:

For a custom usecase, I have intentionally failed the platform bus
registration and I expected all the platform device/driver
registrations to fail gracefully. But I came across this panic
issue.

Note, this can only be triggered if a driver errors out from this call,
which should never happen.  If it does, the driver needs to be fixed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
