With the current design we're waiting for all async probes to finish when removing any sd device. This might lead to a livelock where the 'remove' call is blocking for any probe calls to finish, and the probe calls are waiting for a response, which will never be processes as the thread handling the responses is waiting for the remove call to finish. Which is completely pointless as we only _really_ care for the probe on _this_ device to be completed; any other probing can happily continue for all we care. So save the async probing cookie in the structure and only wait if this specific probe is still active.
