Subject: [PATCH] driver core: support bus manage deferred probe

From: Zhang Ning <ning.a.zhang@...el.com>

deferred probe will be hanlded by deferred_probe_initcall,
starts at late_initcall.

this is too late to handle deferred probe, this will block kernel exec
to userspace, make kernel initial time longer.

if we know when required resources are ready for a list of devices,
related deferred drivers can be probe earlier.

add these kinds of drivers into logical list,
eg, bus_type->deferred_probe_pending_list,
then it can be easily handled by bus driver.

with analysis above:
add manage_deferred to struct bus_type
add deferred_probe_pending_list to struct bus_type

when manage_deferred is true, deferred probe will be
manage by bus.
