[PATCH v15 01/32] v4l: async: Remove re-probing support

[Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com>]

Remove V4L2 async re-probing support. The re-probing support has been
there to support cases where the sub-devices require resources provided by
the main driver's hardware to function, such as clocks.

Reprobing has allowed unbinding and again binding the main driver without
explicilty unbinding the sub-device drivers. This is certainly not a
common need, and the responsibility will be the user's going forward.

An alternative could have been to introduce notifier specific locks.
Considering the complexity of the re-probing and that it isn't really a
solution to a problem but a workaround, remove re-probing instead.
