Subject: [PATCH 3/3] driver core: bus: Correct API bus_rescan_devices()
 behavior

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@...cinc.com>

API bus_rescan_devices() should ideally scan drivers for a bus's devices
as many as possible, but it really stops scanning for remaining devices
even if a device encounters inconsequential errors such as -EPROBE_DEFER
and -ENODEV, fixed by ignoring such inconsequential errors during scanning.

By the way, Neither the API's return value nor device_reprobe()'s existing
logic are changed.
