driver core: Add deferred_probe attribute to devices in sysfs 



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.
