Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/amdgpu: Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS

This driver often takes over 200ms to start, so it can improve boot
speed to probe it asynchronously.

I did a short review of the driver, and apart from an issue fixed in the
parent patch ("drm/amdgpu: Move racy global PMU list into device"),
there don't appear to be many cross-device dependencies or racy accesses
to global state, so this should be safe.

This driver was pinpointed as part of a survey of top slowest initcalls
(i.e., are built in, and probing synchronously) on a lab of ChromeOS
systems.
