driver core: Fix driver_deferred_probe_check_state() logic
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() has some uninituitive behavior.
* From boot to late_initcall, it returns -EPROBE_DEFER
* From late_initcall to the deferred_probe_timeout (if set)
it returns -ENODEV
* If the deferred_probe_timeout it set, after it fires, it
returns -ETIMEDOUT
This is a bit confusing, as its useful to have the function
return -EPROBE_DEFER while the timeout is still running. This
behavior has resulted in the somwhat duplicative
driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue() function being
added.
Thus this patch tries to improve the logic, so that it behaves
as such:
* If late_initcall has passed, and modules are not enabled
it returns -ENODEV
* If modules are enabled and deferred_probe_timeout is set,
it returns -EPROBE_DEFER until the timeout, afterwhich it
returns -ETIMEDOUT.
* In all other cases, it returns -EPROBE_DEFER
This will make the deferred_probe_timeout value much more
functional, and will allow us to consolidate the
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() and
driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue() logic in a later
patch.
