Probe devices asynchronously instead of the driver. This results in us seeing the same behavior if the device is registered before the driver or after. This way we can avoid serializing the initialization should the driver not be loaded until after the devices have already been added. The motivation behind this is that if we have a set of devices that take a significant amount of time to load we can greatly reduce the time to load by processing them in parallel instead of one at a time. In addition, each device can exist on a different node so placing a single thread on one CPU to initialize all of the devices for a given driver can result in poor performance on a system with multiple nodes. This approach can reduce the time needed to scan SCSI LUNs significantly. The only way to realize that speedup is by enabling more concurrency which is what is achieved with this patch. To achieve this it was necessary to add a new member "async_driver" to the device_private structure to store the driver pointer while we wait on the deferred probe call.
