Subject: [RESEND PATCH v5 1/5] driver core: add probe_err log helper

Precedence: bulk

During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for error
printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error. This
pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource acquisition
code, as a result it is often omited or implemented only partially.
probe_err helps to replace such code sequences with simple call, so code:
	if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
		dev_err(dev, ...);
	return err;
becomes:
	return probe_err(dev, err, ...);
