Series driver core: Improve and cleanup driver_deferred_probe_check_state() | expand

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.
