Set proper link state if link is created between already probed supplier
device and to be probed consumer device.

The supplier->driver check is insufficient and racy.

It is insufficient, because supplier->driver is also set during supplier probe
and the probe may still not be successful.

It is racy, because supplier->driver may be modified right after this check.

The only way to address the issue at hand I can see is to add a flag to
indicate to device_link_add() that the supplier has already been probed
successfully.

Thanks,
Rafael
