driver core: Move deferred devices to the end of dpm_list before probing When deferred probe was originally added the idea was that devices which defer their probes would move themselves to the end of dpm_list in order to try to keep the assumptions that we're making about the list being in roughly the order things should be suspended correct. However this hasn't been what's been happening and doing it requires a lot of duplicated code to do the moves. Instead take a simple, brute force solution and have the deferred probe code push devices to the end of dpm_list before it retries the probe. This does mean we lock the dpm_list a bit more often but it's very simple and the code shouldn't be a fast path. We do the move with the deferred mutex dropped since doing things with fewer locks held simultaneously seems like a good idea. This approach was most recently suggested by Grant Likely.
