Driver core fix for 4.10-rc4 

Here is a single patch being reverted to remove a feature that was added
 in 4.10-rc1 that isn't quite ready for release.  It will be redone as a
 debugfs file instead of a sysfs file in the future.

What: /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe
Date: August 2016
Contact: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe attribute is
present for all devices. If a driver detects during
probing a device that a related device is not yet
ready, it may defer probing of the first device. The
kernel will retry probing the first device after any
other device is successfully probed. This attribute
reads as 1 if probing of this device is currently
deferred, or 0 otherwise.
