Subject: [RFC][PATCH] driver core: Ensure wait_for_device_probe() waits until the deferred_probe_timeout fires

Precedence: bulk

In commit c8c43cee29f6 ("driver core: Fix
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() logic"), we set the default
driver_deferred_probe_timeout value to 30 seconds to allow for
drivers that are missing dependencies to have some time so that
the dependency may be loaded from userland after initcalls_done
is set.

However, Yoshihiro Shimoda reported that on his device that
expects to have unmet dependencies (due to "optional links" in
its devicetree), was failing to mount the NFS root.

In digging further, it seemed the problem was that while the
device properly probes after waiting 30 seconds for any missing
modules to load, the ip_auto_config() had already failed,
resulting in NFS to fail. This was due to ip_auto_config()
calling wait_for_device_probe() which doesn't wait for the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout to fire.

This patch tries to fix the issue by creating a waitqueue
for the driver_deferred_probe_timeout, and calling wait_event()
to make sure driver_deferred_probe_timeout is zero in
wait_for_device_probe() to make sure all the probing is
finished.

NOTE: I'm not 100% sure this won't have other unwanted side
effects (I don't have failing hardware myself to validate),
so I'd apprecate testing and close review.

If this approach doesn't work, I'll simply set the default
driver_deferred_probe_timeout value back to zero, to avoid any
behavioral change from before.

Thanks to Geert for chasing down that ip_auto_config was why NFS
was failing in this case!
