Driver core: allow certain drivers prohibit bind/unbind via sysfs

Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound
to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe()
routines to save memory. Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind'
leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create
bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.
