[PATCH 5.4 39/84] driver core: Set deferred_probe_timeout to a longer default if CONFIG_MODULES is set

[ Upstream commit e2cec7d6853712295cef5377762165a489b2957f ]

When using modules, its common for the modules not to be loaded
until quite late by userland. With the current code,
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() will stop returning
EPROBE_DEFER after late_initcall, which can cause module
dependency resolution to fail after that.

So allow a longer window of 30 seconds (picked somewhat
arbitrarily, but influenced by the similar regulator core
timeout value) in the case where modules are enabled.
