[PATCH v3 09/18] i2c: core: Probe i2c adapters and devices on demand

When looking up an i2c adapter or device through its OF node, probe it
if it hasn't already.

The goal is to reduce deferred probes to a minimum, as it makes it very
cumbersome to find out why a device failed to probe, and can introduce
very big delays in when a critical device is probed.
