Lets implementations of the match() callback in struct bus_type to
return errors and if it's -EPROBE_DEFER then queue the device for
deferred probing.

This is useful to buses such as AMBA in which devices are registered
before their matching information can be retrieved from the HW
(typically because a clock driver hasn't probed yet).

This is going to start to cause warnings where there were previously
none, which isn't going to be a good idea.  It's completly normal for a
bus to not match a device, let's not be noisy for no good reason, unless
you are going to deal with all of the confused user emails?

You do this a bunch in this patch, please don't.

thanks,
