Driver core fixes for 7.4-rc1 (2nd)

Hi Linus,

Please pull these driver-core fixes.

The main fix is a revert of TAINT_FORCED_BIND, which is too broad and causes established VFIO workflows to taint the kernel.

Thanks,
Danilo

Revert "driver core: add TAINT_FORCED_BIND for when userspace manually messes with devices and drivers" (2026-10-29 21:01:16 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Driver core fixes for 7.4-rc1

- Revert TAINT_FORCED_BIND, introduced to flag manual sysfs bind/unbind operations associated with misleading fuzzing reports. It also taints established workflows, including VFIO device passthrough; a more targeted approach will be revisited after 7.4.

- Rate limit synthetic uevent failure messages to prevent log flooding from repeated invalid writes to sysfs uevent files
