Checking if the dev is dead or if the dev is already bound is a required precondition to invoking driver_probe_device(). All the call chains leading here duplicate these checks. Add it directly to driver_probe_device() so the precondition is clear and remove the checks from device_driver_attach() and __driver_attach_async_helper(). The other call chain going through __device_attach_driver() does have these same checks but they are inlined into logic higher up the call stack and can't be removed. The sysfs uAPI call chain starting at bind_store() is a bit confused because it reads dev->driver unlocked and returns -ENODEV if it is !NULL, otherwise it reads it again under lock and returns 0 if it is !NULL. Fix this to always return -EBUSY and always read dev->driver under its lock. Done in preparation for the next patches which will add additional callers to driver_probe_device() and will need these checks as well.

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.
