module: Add support for default value for module async_probe
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.
