This stores the probe deferral reason in the device structure.
If a probe is permanently deferred, the last reason is displayed.

Other dev_err_probe outputs are displayed as before.

v1 -> v2:
  - improved commit message
  - improved function prototypes
  - improved debug output, device name is displayed once only per
    message
  - reverted removal of MSG_DEBUG output on deferred probe
  - replaced kfree by free
  - removed unnecessary null checks before free
  - fixed several typos
  - fixed compiler warnings
  - fixed coding style issues
