Add a module.async_probe kernel command line option that allows enabling
async probing for all modules. When this command line option is used,
there might still be some modules for which we want to explicitly force
synchronous probing, so extend <modulename>.async_probe to take an
optional bool input so that async probing can be disabled for a specific
module.
