Revert "driver core: Add deferred_probe attribute to devices in sysfs"

This reverts commit 6751667a29d6fd64afb9ce30567ad616b68ed789.

Rob Herring objected to it, and a replacement for it will be added using
debugfs in the future.

··· 1 - What: /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe 2 - Date: August 2016 3 - Contact: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk> 4 - Description: 5 - The /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe attribute is 6 - present for all devices. If a driver detects during 7 - probing a device that a related device is not yet 8 - ready, it may defer probing of the first device. The 9 - kernel will retry probing the first device after any 10 - other device is successfully probed. This attribute 11 - reads as 1 if probing of this device is currently 12 - deferred, or 0 otherwise.
