John Garry 5516e21a1e ipmi: use dynamic memory for DMI driver override
Currently a crash can be seen if we reach the "err"
label in dmi_add_platform_ipmi(), calling
platform_device_put(), like here:

This is because when the device is released in
platform_device_release(), we try to free
pdev.driver_override. This is a const string, hence
the crash.
Fix by using dynamic memory for pdev->driver_override.

Signed-off-by: John Garry <john.garry@huawei.com>
[Removed the free of driver_override from ipmi_si_remove_by_dev().  The
 free is done in platform_device_release(), and would result in a double
 free, and ipmi_si_remove_by_dev() is called by non-platform devices.]
