driver core: Add deferred_probe attribute to devices in sysfs

Browse Source 
It is sometimes useful to know that a device is on the deferred probe
list rather than, say, not having a driver available.  Expose this
information to user-space.

What: /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe
Date: August 2016
Contact: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe attribute is
present for all devices. If a driver detects during
probing a device that a related device is not yet
ready, it may defer probing of the first device. The
kernel will retry probing the first device after any
other device is successfully probed. This attribute
reads as 1 if probing of this device is currently
deferred, or 0 otherwise.
