[PATCH 1/4] base: Introduce deferred probing

[Sebastian Hesselbarth <sebastian.hesselbarth@gmail.com>]

As expected, we would need deferred probing sooner or later. This is
a first approach to allow devices to return -EPROBE_DEFER and get
sorted into a list of deferred devices that will be re-probed later.
