driver core: remove driver_set_override()

All buses have been converted from driver_set_override() to the generic
driver_override infrastructure introduced in commit cb3d1049f4ea
("driver core: generalize driver_override in struct device").

Buses now either opt into the generic sysfs callbacks via the
bus_type::driver_override flag, or use device_set_driver_override() /
__device_set_driver_override() directly.

Thus, remove the now-unused driver_set_override() helper.
