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

From: Dmitry Torokhov dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com
commit 18daa52418e7e4629ed1703b64777294209d2622 upstream.
If userspace reads "uevent" device attribute at the same time as another threads unbinds the device from its driver, change to dev->driver from a valid pointer to NULL may result in crash. Fix this by using READ_ONCE() when fetching the pointer, and take bus' drivers klist lock to make sure driver instance will not disappear while we access it.
Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting the driver pointer to ensure there is no tearing.
