Introduce a PCI parameter that disables the automatic attachment of
untrusted devices to their drivers.

Context:

  I set out to implement the approach outlined in
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/9/1331
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/15/1453

  But to my surprise, I found that the new hotplugged PCI devices
  were getting automatically attached to drivers even though
  /sys/bus/pci/drivers_autoprobe was set to 0.

  I realized that the device core's "drivers_autoprobe":

  * only disables the *initial* probe of the device (i.e. from
    device_add()). If a subsystem calls device_attach() explicitly
    for its devices like PCI subsystem does, the drivers_autoprobe
    setting does not matter. The core will attach device to the driver.
    This looks like correct semantic behavior to me because PCI is
    explicitly calling device_attach(), which is a way to explicitly
    ask the core to find and attach a driver for a device.

  * "drivers_autoprobe" cannot be controlled at boot time (to restrict
    any drivers before userspace comes up).

  The options I considered were:

  1) Change device_attach() so that it takes into consideration the
     drivers_autoprobe property. Not sure if this is semantically correct
     thing to do though. If I do this, then the only way a driver can
     be attached to the drivers would be via userspace
     (/sys/bus/pci/drivers/bind) (Good for our use case though!).

  2) Make the drivers_autoprobe property available to PCI to use
     (currently it is private to device core). The PCI could use this
     to determine whether or not to call device_attach(). This still
     leaves the other problem (of not being able to set
     drivers_autoprobe via command line open).

  3) I found the pci_dev->match_driver, which seemed similar to what I
     am trying to do, but can't be controlled from userspace. I considered
     populating that field based on drivers_autoprobe (still need (2)).
     But the problem is that there is the AMD IOMMU driver which is setting
     this independently, so setting the match_driver based on
     drivers_autoprobe may not be a good idea. May be we can populate it
     for untrusted devicesi, based on the parameter that I'm introducing?

  4) This patch was my option 4 that helps fix both the problems for me.
