driver core: Add device link flag DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER
Add a new device link flag, DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER, to request the driver core to probe for a consumer driver automatically after binding a driver to the supplier device on a persistent managed device link. As unbinding the supplier driver on a managed device link causes the consumer driver to be detached from its device automatically, this flag provides a complementary mechanism which is needed to address some "composite device" use cases.
