driver core: shut down devices asynchronously
Add code to allow asynchronous shutdown of devices, ensuring that each device is shut down before its parents & suppliers. Only devices with drivers that have async_shutdown_enable enabled will be shut down asynchronously. This can dramatically reduce system shutdown/reboot time on systems that have multiple devices that take many seconds to shut down (like certain NVMe drives). On one system tested, the shutdown time went from 11 minutes without this patch to 55 seconds with the patch.
