ARM: 8524/1: driver cohandle -EPROBE_DEFER from bus_type.match()

Allow implementations of the match() callback in struct bus_type to
return errors and if it's -EPROBE_DEFER then queue the device for
deferred probing.

This is useful to buses such as AMBA in which devices are registered
before their matching information can be retrieved from the HW
(typically because a clock driver hasn't probed yet).

[changed if-else code structure, adjusted documentation to match the code,
extended comments]

match should return '1' if the driver supports the device, and '0'

match should return positive value if the driver supports the device,
and zero otherwise. It may also return error code (for example
-EPROBE_DEFER) if determining that given driver supports the device is
not possible.
When a device is registered, the bus's list of drivers is iterated
over. bus->match() is called for each one until a match is found.
