module: Add support for default value for module async_probe
[ Upstream commit ae39e9ed964f8e450d0de410b5a757e19581dfc5 ]
Add a module.async_probe kernel command line option that allows enabling
async probing for all modules. When this command line option is used,
there might still be some modules for which we want to explicitly force
synchronous probing, so extend <modulename>.async_probe to take an
optional bool input so that async probing can be disabled for a specific
module.
