driver core: Don't do deferred probe in parallel with kernel_init thread
The current deferred probe implementation can mess up suspend/resume
ordering if deferred probe thread is kicked off in parallel with the
main initcall thread (kernel_init thread) [1].
For example:
Say device-B is a consumer of device-A.
Initcall thread Deferred probe thread
=============== =====================
1. device-A is added.
2. device-B is added.
3. dpm_list is now [device-A, device-B].
4. driver-A defers probe of device-A.
5. device-A is moved to
end of dpm_list
6. dpm_list is now
[device-B, device-A]
7. driver-B is registereed and probes device-B.
8. dpm_list stays as [device-B, device-A].
The reverse order of dpm_list is used for suspend. So in this case
device-A would incorrectly get suspended before device-B.
Commit 716a7a259690 ("driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching
fwnode parsing") kicked off the deferred probe thread early during boot
to run in parallel with the initcall thread and caused suspend/resume
regressions. This patch removes the parallel run of the deferred probe
thread to avoid the suspend/resume regressions.
