amba: store owner from modules with amba_driver_register()
Modules registering driver with amba_driver_register() often forget to
set .owner field. The field is used by some of other kernel parts for
reference counting (try_module_get()), so it is expected that drivers
will set it.
Solve the problem by moving this task away from the drivers to the core
amba bus code, just like we did for platform_driver in
commit 9447057eaff8 ("platform_device: use a macro instead of
platform_driver_register").
Setting .owner field from the core code fixes several drivers which
forgot to initialize it. Other drivers, which were initializing it,
can be a bit simplified and don't need their own .owner assignment.
vfio: amba: drop owner assignment
Amba bus core already sets owner, so driver does not need to.
