net: phy: probe PHY drivers synchronously

Browse Source 
If we have scenarios like

mdiobus_register()
	-> loads PHY driver module(s)
	-> registers PHY driver(s)
	-> may schedule async probe
phydev = mdiobus_get_phy()
<phydev action involving PHY driver>

or

phydev = phy_device_create()
	-> loads PHY driver module
	-> registers PHY driver
	-> may schedule async probe
<phydev action involving PHY driver>

then we expect the PHY driver to be bound to the phydev when triggering
the action. This may not be the case in case of asynchronous probing.
Therefore ensure that PHY drivers are probed synchronously.

Default still is sync probing, except async probing is explicitly
requested. I saw some comments that the intention is to promote
async probing for more parallelism in boot process and want to be
prepared for the case that the default is changed to async probing.
