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.

-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.
