[PATCH 8/8] driver-core: allow forcing async probing for modules and builtins

[Dmitry Torokhov]

From: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

Folks wishing to test enabling async probe for all built-in drivers
and/or for all modules can enable
__DEBUG__kernel_force_builtin_async_probe or
__DEBUG__kernel_force_modules_async_probe kernel parameters.

Using either one will taint your kernel.

Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>
[Dmitry: split off from another patch, split into 2 parameters, moved
over to core_param_unsafe()]
