[RFC PATCH 2/2] ASoC: SOF: trigger re-probing of deferred devices from workqueue

Audio drivers such as HDaudio legacy and SOF rely on a workqueue to
split the probe into two, with a first pass returning success
immediately, and the second pass taking a lot more time due to the use
of request_module() and the DSP initializations.

This workqueue-based solution helps deal with conflicting requirements
a) other drivers should not be blocked by a long probe
b) a PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS probe_type is explicitly not allowed
to avoid a deadlock when request_module() is used.

This patch makes sure the deferred probe framework is triggered when
the provider of resources successfully completes its initialization.
