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.
