[PATCH] drivers: wait for threaded probes between initcall levels
The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg, core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the layered initcalls previously gave us. IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between different levels. Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at one level to complete before we start processing the next level.
