[RESEND PATCH v5 2/5] driver core: add deferring probe reason to devices_deferred property

[Andrzej Hajda]

/sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred property contains list of deferred devices.
This list does not contain reason why the driver deferred probe, the patch
improves it.
The natural place to set the reason is probe_err function introduced recently,
ie. if probe_err will be called with -EPROBE_DEFER instead of printk the message
will be attached to deferred device and printed when user read devices_deferred
property.
