PCI: Introduce new device binding path using pci_dev.driver_override

The driver_override field allows us to specify the driver for a device
rather than relying on the driver to provide a positive match of the
device.  This shortcuts the existing process of looking up the vendor and
device ID, adding them to the driver new_id, binding the device, then
removing the ID, but it also provides a couple advantages.

First, the above existing process allows the driver to bind to any device
matching the new_id for the window where it's enabled.  This is often not
desired, such as the case of trying to bind a single device to a meta
driver like pci-stub or vfio-pci.  Using driver_override we can do this
deterministically using:

  echo pci-stub > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver_override
  echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver/unbind
  echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe

Previously we could not invoke drivers_probe after adding a device to
new_id for a driver as we get non-deterministic behavior whether the driver
we intend or the standard driver will claim the device.  Now it becomes a
deterministic process, only the driver matching driver_override will probe
the device.

To return the device to the standard driver, we simply clear the
driver_override and reprobe the device:

  echo > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver_override
  echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver/unbind
  echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe

Another advantage to this approach is that we can specify a driver override
to force a specific binding or prevent any binding.  For instance when an
IOMMU group is exposed to userspace through VFIO we require that all
devices within that group are owned by VFIO.  However, devices can be
hot-added into an IOMMU group, in which case we want to prevent the device
from binding to any driver (override driver = "none") or perhaps have it
automatically bind to vfio-pci.  With driver_override it's a simple matter
for this field to be set internally when the device is first discovered to
prevent driver matches.
