[PATCH] nvme: Boot as soon as the boot controller has been probed

The following two issues have been introduced by commit 1811977568e0
("nvme/pci: Use async_schedule for initial reset work"):
- The boot process waits until all NVMe controllers have been probed
  instead of only waiting until the boot controller has been probed.
  This slows down the boot process.
- Some of the controller probing work happens asynchronously without
  the device core being aware of this.

Hence this patch that makes all probing work happen from nvme_probe()
and that tells the device core to probe multiple NVMe controllers
concurrently by setting PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS.
