Subject: [PATCH] driver core: add devices to deferred probe list when unbinding consumers

When a device is unbound due to the provider of one of the resources going
away, add it to the deferred probe list. This way the consumer device
driver gets a chance to rebind itself if the provider is rebound later on.
