    driver core: add device probe log helper
    
    [ Upstream commit a787e5400a1ceeb0ef92d71ec43aeb35b1fa1334 ]
    
    During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for
    error printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error.
    This pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource
    acquisition code, as a result it is often omitted or implemented only
    partially.
    dev_err_probe helps to replace such code sequences with simple call,
    so code:
            if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
                    dev_err(dev, ...);
            return err;
    becomes:
            return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ...);
