driver_find_device() can be called with an unregistered driver.

Who does that?  Where in the kernel?  Why would you try to do that?

Need to check driver_private to see if it's populated or not,
especially under deferrable probe.

Hm, I don't know if this will really catch a driver that was registered
and then was unregistered, right?  It seems like moving the real problem
somewhere else, why not fix the original issue instead?
