[RFT PATCH 3/3] rpmsg: fix kfree() of const memory on setting driver_override

The driver_override field from rpmsg_device should not be initialized
from const memory because the core later kfree() it, for example when
driver_override is set via sysfs.

Fixes: 950a7388f02b ("rpmsg: Turn name service into a stand alone driver")
Fixes: c0cdc19f84a4 ("rpmsg: Driver for user space endpoint interface")
